Summary
August 2018 -- Data Buffet now carries major labor force status items for Japan at a monthly frequency; this subset has longer history but less detail than the principal quarterly subset (12 new monthly series from 1953).
Detail

Dataset properties:

  • Population basis: 2010-2015 intercensal adjustment
  • Measurement: 10 thousand persons (10 Ths. #) or percentage (%)
  • Adjustment: Seasonally adjusted (SA) or not (NSA)
  • Geo coverage: Country
  • Native frequency: Monthly
  • Start date: January 1953

The series reside in the historical catalog (Japan » Labor and Wages » Intercensal-level adjustment from 2010 and 2015 » Labor force status) and include, for example:

  • LWQLFTCAM.IJPN = Labor force, (10 Ths. #, SA)
  • LWQEMTCAM.IJPN = Employed person, (10 Ths. #, SA)
  • LW%URTCUM.IJPN = Unemployment rate, (%, NSA)

Compare, for example, seasonally adjusted labor force:

  • LWQLFTCAM.IJPN      = Monthly; Japan; from 1953M1
  • LWQLFTCAQ.IJPN      = Quarterly; for Japan; from 1983Q1
  • LWQLFTCAQ.IJPN_CHUG = Quarterly; for Chugoku region; from 1983Q1

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.
