Efficiency and sensitivity of BLS adjustment method have been studied and the method is known to provide more accurate estimate of total by using properly adjusted weights of samples. However, BLS methods provide different efficiencies according to the magnitudes of correlation coefficients and the sizes of samples in strata. In this paper we study the efficiency of the BLS adjustment according to the sample sizes and correlations in strata. For this study, 2007 monthly labor survey data is used.
