Quarterly Labour Force Statistics

This quarterly bulletin provides the most recent statistics on the short-term evolution of the major components of labour force and  employment by sector. It covers twenty countries that compile these statistics on a monthly or quarterly basis. For each country there are two pages of graphs presenting the evolution for the last ten years and two pages showing the corresponding quarterly figures for the last six-year period. Figures referring to the breakdown of the unemployed by sex and age group are published for all the countries, and the annex gives a set of standardised unemployment rates for most OECD countries.
