Sweden Labour Force Survey, monthly (SCB, seasonally adjusted)
Monthly Swedish labour-market intelligence from Statistics Sweden's official keyless Labour Force Survey (seasonally adjusted, ages 15–74, 2001→): unemployment, employment and participation rates (percent) plus employed, unemployed and labour-force levels (thousands), with 3-month and 12-month rate changes. Who joins this: Nordics desks track unemployment momentum on year_month; macro models use participation and employment-rate changes as labour-market tightness features.
