Motivation: Our national source, the Bank of Thailand, reports its labor force survey (LFS) at a monthly frequency and with limited history (from January 2001).
Response: For international consistency, we have created quarterly versions of the indicators and extended their history by synthesizing data from the Bank of Thailand and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Properties:
- Measurement: Thousands of persons (Ths. #) or percent (%)
- Adjustment: Seasonally adjusted (SA)
- Frequency: Quarterly
- Start date: 1985Q1
- Geo coverage: Nation
The series reside in the historical catalog (Thailand » Labor and Wages » Labor force status » Moody's Analytics Estimated) and are:
- RLBFQ.ITHA = Labor force, (Ths., SA)
- RLBEQ.ITHA = Employed, (Ths., SA)
- RLBUQ.ITHA = Unemployed, (Ths., SA)
- RLBFQ.ITHA = Unemployment rate, (%, SA)
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.
