Definition, coverage & attribution

Unemployment rate of Japan, both sexes: completely unemployed persons as a percentage of the labour force, seasonally adjusted, as the Statistics Bureau publishes it in its Labour Force Survey long series (from January 1953). Months to June 1972 exclude Okinawa; March to August 2011 are supplementary estimates. The Bureau revises the past ten years of seasonally adjusted figures each January.
