Basis: sourced records (URL, sha256 or locator per row), no model.
Printed values verbatim with table id and printed page; microdata estimates with the survey weights, anchored to the prints; rates and shares computed in code from stored values.

Bangladesh Quarterly Labour Force Survey 2015-16 report (BBS), annex tables S162, S97, S64, S65, S107 (S92 cross-checked)
Dataset: LFS division figures

Caveat: not available
Bangladesh Labour Force Survey 2022 report (BBS), tables 43, 45, 6.5.1, 7.3.1, 7.3.2, 8.3.1, 9.4.1, 9.6.1 and the trend-chart data labels of figures 5.5/5.6 and 8.7
Not held
District figures: The LFS is division-level; no district breakdown exists in the held rounds, printed or microdata.
NEET by division, 2022: The 2022 report prints NEET nationally only (table 9.6.1); a reproduction from the stored 2022 reissue microdata did not match the printed national figure, so no division NEET is served for 2022. Division NEET is served for 2015-16 as printed (table S107).
Quarterly LFS 2023 and 2024: The stored report PDFs for the 2023 and 2024 quarterly rounds (labour_force_survey_2023.pdf, labour_force_survey_2024.pdf) carry no extractable text in the store; no figures are served from them.
Informal employment before 2022: The older held reports do not print informal-employment tables by division; informal figures are 2022 only (tables 7.3.1, 7.3.2).
Rounds before 2013: No earlier LFS round is held in the store.
National labour aggregates and urban labour: National labour force series belong to the people brain and urban labour to the urban brain; this route links to them instead of repeating them.

Caveat: The 2022 estimate pools the four reissue quarters (each weight /4). Division figures computed from the microdata are anchored to the prints by 76 build-time checks (lfs labour build.json, all passing); national printed values are the report's own, including the 2013 and 2016-17 trend-chart data labels of the 2022 report.
