Expanded monitoring of the labour market
Daglige tal for, hvordan arbejdsmarkedet udvikler sig
Background information
Because of the economic effects of the COVID-19 virus the Danish government has decided to publish daily figures on how the labour market develops, as opposed to periodical numbers.
Enhanced surveillance should allow the government, all relevant authorities and the public to organize the action based on as timely a snapshot as possible. The monitoring of developments in the labor market is updated on a daily basis at jobindsats.dk, including figures of new vacancies and the recently unemployed. There will also be data once a week broken down by industries and job areas.
Content of measure
The monitoring is done by the Danish Labor Market and Recruitment Agency (Styrelsen for Arbejdsmarked og Rekruttering, STAR).
The labour market report is published every day at 10, except on holidays. The figures relating to layoffs and work allocations are updated weekly. This happens on the 3rd weekday of the week.
The report contains daily information on the amount of registered as unemployed with the authorities. It includes comparisons over time, both during and before the COVID-19 crisis.
Other statistics include:
* reason for unemployment (such as: sickness, dismissal, or other)
* new vacancies registered in "jobnet" (STARs job posting service).
