Summary
May 2019 -- Moody's Analytics now estimates labor force status indicators for select regions and municipalities in Vietnam, including the capital city (16 new quarterly series from 1997).
Detail

Motivation: Our national source, the General Statistics Office of Vietnam, reports subnational labor force status at a quarterly frequency, for the country, eight regions, and two metropolitan areas; but in not seasonally adjusted (NSA) terms and with limited history (from 2009).

Response: For international consistency, we have estimated the labor force status quartet, for select areas, seasonally adjusted, with extended history (by 12 years).

Properties

  • Measurements: Thousands of persons (Ths. #) or percent of labor force (%)
  • Adjustment: Seasonally adjusted (SA)
  • Geo coverage: 
    • Regions (2): Red River Delta and South East
    • Municipalities (2): Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh
  • Start date: 1997Q1

The series reside in the historical catalog (Vietnam » Labor and wages » Labor force status » Moody's Analytics Estimated) and include, for example: 

  • RLBFQ.IVNM_RD   = Labor force, (Ths. #, SA) - for Red River Delta
  • RLBEQ.IVNM_SE   = Employed, (Ths. #, SA) - for South East
  • RLBUQ.IVNM_TPH = Unemployed, (Ths. #, SA) - for Ho Chi Minh
  • RLBRQ.IVNM_HAN = Unemployment rate, (%, SA) - for Ha Noi

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. 

Method: Please refer to the background documentation in Mnemonic 411.
