Why: Our Danish national source reports, from the quarterly Labor Force Survey, only the number of unemployed and employed.
What: For international consistency, Moody's Analytics has calculated the labor force and unemployment rate, per the International Labor Organization (ILO) definition.
Properties: All four time series start at 1996Q1 and are seasonally adjusted (SA).
How: We used these standard identities:
- Labor force = Unemployment + Employment
- Unemployment Rate = (Unemployment / Labor Force) * 100
