Definition

EU: Labour Force Survey, aged 15 to 74. United States: civilian labour force aged 16 and over, from the Current Population Survey for the nation and from BLS Local Area Unemployment Statistics models, consistent with that survey, for states, counties and cities. United Kingdom regions: Labour Force Survey, aged 16 and over, seasonally adjusted. Canada: Labour Force Survey, aged 15 and over, seasonally adjusted, for the country and the provinces. Australia: Labour Force Survey, aged 15 and over, seasonally adjusted, for the nation and the six states; the ABS publishes no seasonally adjusted series for the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory. New Zealand: Household Labour Force Survey, aged 15 and over, seasonally adjusted for the country and not seasonally adjusted for regional council areas. Norway: Statistics Norway Labour Force Survey, aged 15 to 74, seasonally adjusted monthly figures.
