Unemployment

ILO, % of labour force. Poland from ~20% (2002) to about 3%.

The file

The indicator

SL.UEM.TOTL.ZS counts people looking for work. Low unemployment with falling Labour force participation is not the same as full employment.

What the numbers show

Poland fell from ~20% (2002) to about 3%. Germany and the US hover near 4%. Youth: Youth unemployment. The cycle: GDP growth.

Registered unemployment (GUS)

Registered unemployment rate. Not an ILO / LFS copy — different definition.

The file

Registered unemployment rate, %. Labour offices, not LFS / ILO.

The indicator

Variable 60270, subject P2392. A method pair for Unemployment and Unemployment (Eurostat) — different definition, different level.

What the numbers show

The register is often higher than LFS because it counts different people. That is two series, not “GUS vs the Bank lied”.
