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.
