Motivation: Our national source, the Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia (SORS), reports employment and unemployment, but only in not seasonally adjusted (NSA) terms.

Response: For analytical consistency, we have created seasonally adjusted (SA) counterparts, and the remaining members of the LFS quartet.

Properties: The start date (1993Q2) and units are identical for the two versions. Expect our SA series to be revised with each update. Supplemental series of this kind are marked in their source metadata with a secondary citation of "Moody's Analytics Adjusted."

The series reside in the historical catalog (Slovenia » Labor and Wages » Labor Force Status » Moody's Analytics Adjusted) and are:

• LWQLFAQ.ISVN = Total Labor Force, (Ths. #, SA)
• LWQEMAQ.ISVN = Total Employed, (Ths. #, SA)
• LWQUNAQ.ISVN = Total Unemployed, (Ths. #, SA)
• LW%URAQ.ISVN = Unemployment Rate, (%, SA)

Method:

1. Adjust reported employment and unemployment using the U.S. Census Bureau's X-13 ARIMA program.
2. Compute labor force and unemployment rate as identities
3. Fill missing periods by interpolation.
