Unemployment rate
This is so called registered unemployment rate. The source of data on the numbers of job applicants out of work, who are registered by the labour offices, is the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs. Unemployment rate is derived as the ratio of the number of job applicants out of work to the number of employment as obtained by the LFSS (annual moving average) plus the number of job applicants registered by the labour offices and out of work (annual moving average). Unlike previously, women on additional child-care leave are excluded from the number of employment.
