Question and source
This report asks what the Philippine Statistics Authority digital economy account contributes to an offshore staffing decision. The 2024 account is preliminary and its method remains under refinement.
Reported signal
The PSA reported 11.30 million digital-economy workers in 2024, equal to 23.1 percent of national employment. This broad category is not an available candidate pool.
Limits
The release does not establish a provider's reach, candidate skill, wage, availability, security practice, or retention. A national count cannot support a hiring promise.
Buyer application
Test the real decision with a role brief, funnel evidence, work samples, interviews, access controls, and a reviewed pilot.
