This table contains figures on the not seasonally adjusted registered
unemployment and the seasonally adjusted registered unemployment.

Data available from: December 1988/February 1989

Status of the figures:
Figures based on the LFS are always final.

Changes as of December 1st:
July 2010 Statistics Netherlands has implemented a new method for creating
unemployment data. For the first time Statistics Netherlands is able to
publish monthly figures about unemployment. In order to fit quarterly and
yearly figures based on the LFS to these new unemployment data, the
weighing method of the LFS has been improved. Because of this all quarterly
and yearly figures have been revised from 2001. The years before 2001 are
not revised, for these years the same figures are used that were already
published. For the tables on the registered unemployment this new method
means that it is no longer possible to publish monthly figures based on
three-month-averages as was done before. Tables, such as this table, that
still contain three-month-averages on the registered unemployment are
stopped and continued in new tables in which from publicationyear 2001 and
onwards quarterly figures will be published.

When will new figures be published?
This table is stopped.
