Labour Force Surveys (LFS) 2024:3 - Theme: How do the time series of the Labour Force Surveys (LFS) relate to the business cycle?

This report aims to investigate how labor market indicators found in SCB’s Labor Force Surveys (LFS) vary with the business cycle and which of these can provide early signals about developments in the labor market and the state of the business cycle. The purpose therefore includes examining which of these indicators tend to precede the business cycle and its turning points. Labor market flows are also studied in the form of quarterly unemployment risks for the employed and employment opportunities for the unemployed. The method applied is based on that used to produce SCB’s Business Cycle Clock.
