The Press release shows the results of the Labor Force Survey (LFS) for the first quarter of 2023.
These data are not comparable with the data from the previous quarters of other years, because in 2023 the new Regulation (EU)
no. 2019/1700 of the European Parliament and the Council for Social Statistics and the corresponding executive regulation of the
Commission (EU) no. 2019/2240 for the area of the labor force was implemented, while the previous Regulation (EC) no. 577/98 has
been repealed.
The implementation of the new regulation caused changes in the survey, starting with changes in the design of the questionnaire,
changes in the order of questions, changes and removal of existing and addition of new questions and changes in the scope and
definition of employment and unemployment.
The mentioned changes caused interruption of the time series of data. A revised series of core employment and unemployment
indicators are planned to be calculated for the period from the first quarter of 2009 to the fourth quarter of 2022 to allow comparability
of data.
