  • Euro-Area Unemployment Signals (derived)

    Euro-area unemployment signals (rates, divergence, distance from EA average)

    Monthly European unemployment signals derived from Eurostat's harmonized unemployment series (35 countries and aggregates, seasonally adjusted, % of labour force): year-on-year and 3-month changes in percentage points, 30-month annualized change volatility, 3-sigma anomaly flags vs a trailing 12-month baseline, naive-drift 1-month forecasts, a per-month cross-country volatility rank, the cross-country dispersion of unemployment rates (the euro labor-market divergence gauge) and each country's distance from the EA21 euro-area average. All rows are country-normalized (ISO alpha-3, aggregates kept as stable codes) so they join cleanly with other country-keyed datasets. Raw data: Eurostat (une_rt_m); derived signals by Frontier Data Hub.

  • JOLTS Labor Market Signals (derived)

    US JOLTS labor market signals (openings, quits, layoffs churn gauge, anomalies)

    Monthly labor-market signals derived from FRED's Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS): 30-month annualized change volatility, 3-month momentum, 3-sigma anomaly flags vs a trailing 12-month baseline, naive-drift 1-month forecasts, a per-month cross-series volatility rank, and the quits-minus-layoffs churn spread (the tight-vs-loose labor market gauge). Covers job openings level and rate, quits rate, layoffs & discharges rate and hires rate. All rows are normalized to country_code USA so they join cleanly with US macro data. Raw series: Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRED); underlying survey: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

  • Labor-Demand Signals (derived)

    US labor-demand signals (JOLTS openings, hires, quits)

    Monthly US labor-demand signals from BLS JOLTS data (via FRED, 2000 ->): job openings, the hires rate and the quits rate, with 3-month momentum, 30-month change volatility, 3-sigma anomaly flags, drift forecasts, 3-year demand z-scores, a hires hiring-freeze flag, a quits-based worker-confidence gauge and a vacancy-surge flag. The labor-DEMAND companion to the labor-supply levels in us-labor-market-signals: how tight the labor market is from the employer's and the worker's side. All rows normalized to country_code USA. Raw series: Bureau of Labor Statistics (JOLTS) via FRED.

  • Labor Market Signals (derived)

    US labor market signals (Sahm-rule recession indicator, claims anomalies, momentum, forecasts)

    Daily-row labor-market signals derived from FRED's US labor series: the Sahm-rule recession indicator on the unemployment rate (trigger flag + consecutive-month streak), 30-period annualized volatility of changes, 3-month momentum, 3-sigma anomaly flags, naive-drift 1-month forecasts, a per-date cross-series volatility rank, and the 4-week moving average on weekly jobless claims. Covers UNRATE (monthly unemployment rate), PAYEMS (monthly nonfarm payrolls), ICSA (weekly initial claims, seasonally adjusted) and CCSA (weekly continued claims, seasonally adjusted). All rows are normalized to country_code USA so they join cleanly with US macro data. Raw series: Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRED).

  • Wage & Productivity Signals (derived)

    US wage & productivity signals (real earnings momentum, productivity-pay gap, anomalies)

    Monthly/quarterly signals derived from FRED's US earnings and productivity data: 30-period annualized change volatility, ~3-month momentum, 3-sigma anomaly flags vs a trailing 12-month baseline, naive-drift 1-month forecasts, a per-date cross-series volatility rank, the real-wage year-over-year gauge (worker purchasing power) and the productivity-minus-pay gap (the decoupling gauge). Covers nominal average hourly earnings, a connector-derived real-earnings series (CPI-deflated) and nonfarm business labor productivity. All rows are normalized to country_code USA so they join cleanly with US macro data. Raw series: Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRED); underlying data: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

  • US Wage-Cost Pressure Signals (derived)

    US wage-cost pressure signals (ECI, real pay, unit labor costs)

    Quarterly US labor-cost signals derived from FRED: the Employment Cost Index (total compensation and wages & salaries — the Fed's preferred wage gauge) and nonfarm unit labor costs, with quarter-on-quarter annualized changes, year-on-year percent changes, 30-quarter annualized change volatility, 1-quarter momentum, 3-sigma anomaly flags vs a trailing 12-quarter baseline, naive-drift 1-quarter forecasts, a per-quarter cross-series volatility rank, CPI-deflated real ECI growth and the ECI-minus-unit-labor-cost spread (the wage-push vs productivity gauge). All rows are normalized to country_code USA so they join cleanly with US macro data. Raw series: Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRED); underlying survey: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

    Youth unemployment, ages 15-24 (% of labor force, national estimate)

    Youth unemployment refers to the share of the labor force ages 15-24 without work but available for and seeking employment, in percent of the total youth labor force (national estimate), for the 8-country panel (USA, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Japan, China, India). Definitions of labor force and unemployment differ by country, so cross-country levels are not fully comparable (national-estimate methodology). The World Bank publishes the indicator in the World Development Indicators from the ILO Labour Force Statistics database (ILOSTAT), accessed 2026-06-22; WDI vintage last updated 2026-07-13. It is the youth slice of the connector's total unemployment dataset: youth rates run well above total rates everywhere on the panel (IND 2023: 15.47% youth vs 4.17% total), and it is the standard entry point for school-to-work and labor-market-inclusion analysis. Japan has the lowest youth rate in every fixture year (4.03% in 2023); the panel leader shifts from India (20.68% in 2021) to France (17.63% in 2023); China's 2022 and 2023 cells are null upstream (genuine reporting gap, kept verbatim, never interpolated). Units: % of total labor force ages 15-24.
