The unemployment rate in the sense of the International Labour Office, a monthly seasonally adjusted series, for people aged 15–74. It is the internationally comparable figure, different from the registered unemployment rate at the employment agencies. The survey it rests on is quarterly, and the monthly figures are estimates which INS revises periodically.
