New Data: Chile - LFS for capital
Thursday, 26 Mar 2020 07:38 ET
By Ryan Kelly
Summary
March 2020 -- Data Buffet now carries labor force status measures for Santiago Province, the capital of Chile (five new quarterly series from 1980, five defunct series 1960 to 2007).
Detail

Properties of active subset:

  • Measurements: 
    • Thousands of persons (Ths. #)
    • Percentage (%)
  • Adjustment: Not seasonally adjusted (NSA)
  • Native frequency: Quarterly 
  • Start date: Uniformly 1980Q1
  • Geo coverage: 
    • Santiago Province (ICHL_SAN)

Defunct series, where different:

  • Date range: 1960Q1 to 2007Q2
  • Archive specifier: "_07"

The series reside in the historical catalog:

  • Chile » Labor and Wages » Labor force survey » Labor force status » From central bank

and include, for example:

  • LW%URT_07UQ.ICHL_SAN = Labor: Unemployment rate, (%, NSA)
  • LWQWPTUQ.ICHL_SAN    = Labor: Working age population [age 14 and over], (Ths. #, NSA)

Please be aware that

Although both pertain to the national capital (broadly defined), the quarterly unemployment rate in this dataset is distinct from the smoothed monthly unemployment rate (see below). They have different sources (University of Chile via central bank vs. INE) and different geographic definitions.

Although the data portal labels the data as "Greater Santiago", we've decided the geo code ICHL_SAN (province of Santiago) is a better match than ICHL_MSAN (Gran Santiago).
