New Data: Vietnam - LFS - SA
Monday, 12 Aug 2019 15:02 ET
By Katie Cristofano
Summary
August 2019 -- For the four labor force indicators for Vietnam, Moody's Analytics now computes seasonally adjusted counterparts (four new quarterly series from 2009).
Detail

Motivation: Our national source, the General Statistics Office of Vietnam, reports labor force indicators for Vietnam, but only in not seasonally adjusted (NSA) terms. 

Response: For analytical consistency we have created seasonally adjusted counterparts for the labor force quartet. 

Properties: Expect our SA series to be revised with each updated to the NSA series. Supplemental series of this kind are identified by a secondary source citation of "Moody's Analytics Adjusted" or "Moody's Analytics Calculated". 

  • Measurement: Thousands of persons (Ths. #) or percent of labor force (%)
  • Adjustment: Seasonally adjusted (SA)
  • Geo coverage: Country
  • Native frequency: Quarterly
  • Start date: 2009Q3 or 2011Q1

The series reside in the historical catalog (Vietnam » Labor and wages » Report on Labor Force Survey » Active » Seasonally adjusted by Moody's Analytics) and are: 

  • LWQLFTAQ.IVNM  = Labor force survey: Labor force - Both sexes, (Ths. #, SA)
  • LWQEMTTAQ.IVNM = Employed - Both sexes, (Ths. #, SA)
  • LWQUNTAQ.IVNM  = Unemployed population - Both sexes, (Ths. #, SA)
  • LW%URTAQ.IVNM  = Unemployment rate - Both sexes, (%, SA)

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.
