The geographic change appears in the data, although there is no specific mention of it.

In response, we have:

1. Archived the predecessors (one area, 1995 to 2015) by marking as "discontinued" in their metadata.
2. Created two-for-one replacements (two areas, from 2016).

Figures are thousands of persons (Ths. #) or percent rate (%). The successor areas sum to the predecessor area.

The series reside in the historical catalog (Panama » Labor and Wages » Labor force status) and include, for example:

• LWQLFTA.IPAN_PANA = [DISCONTINUED] Labor force, (Ths. #) - for Panamá [old] province
• LWQEMTA.IPAN_PANM = Employed, (Ths. #) - for Panamá [new] province
• LW%URTA.IPAN_PAOE = Unemployment rate, (%) - for Panamá Oeste province

Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.
