Labor market data, 2006 and 2008 (Dutch only)

#TidyTuesday is a weekly data project aimed at the R ecosystem. As this project was borne out of the R4DS Online Learning Community and the R for Data Science textbook, an emphasis was placed on understanding how to summarize and arrange data to make meaningful charts with ggplot2, tidyr, dplyr, and other tools in the tidyverse ecosystem. However, any code-based methodology is welcome - just please remember to share the code used to generate the results.

This table contains monthly, quarterly and yearly figures on the labour participation and unemployment in the Netherlands. The population of 15 to 75 years old (excluding the institutionalized population) is divided into the employed, the unemployed and the people who are not in in the labour force. The different groups are further broken down by sex and age. Next to the original monthly figures on the labour force you can also find monthly figures that are seasonally adjusted.

Data available from: January 2003

Status of the figures: The figures in this table are final.

Changes as of 18 September 2025: The figures for August 2025 have been added

When will new figures be published? New figures on the most recent month are published monthly, in the third week of the month.

This table provides information on turnover developments in the Temporary employment sector (SIC 2008 code 78). The data can be divided by a number of branches according to Statistics Netherlands' Standard Industrial Classification of all Economic Activities 2008 (SIC 2008). Job pool companies (SIC code 78203) are not included in the survey. These companies account for only a very small part (1 percent) of total temporary employment sector (SIC code 78). The results are expressed in index figures with base year 2010. Changes on the same period in the previous year are also published. Data available from 1st quarter 2005. Status of the figures The figures on 2017 are provisional, figures from preceding periods are definite. Changes as of 28 February 2018: Figures of the fourth quarter and the year 2017 have been added and figures of the quarters preceding in 2017 may have been adjusted. When will new figures be published? Statistics Netherlands usually publishes the first results two months after the reporting period. Figures may be updated subsequently as a result of increased response. Five months after the reporting year, all late response is used to compile the definite figures, for all quarters in that reporting year. Until that point, figures are provisional. After that, figures are definite. Once definite figures have been published, Statistics Netherlands only adjusts them if significant corrections are necessary. This table will be replaced by a new table on 16 march 2018 due to the five-yearly change of the base year.

The key figures in this table have therefore been made consistent with the (non-seasonally adjusted) figures in the table Arbeidsdeelname, kerncijfers seizoengecorrigeerd (see section 4), in which the outcomes for the period 2013-2020 have been recalculated to align with the outcomes from 2021. When further detailing the outcomes according to job and personal characteristics, there may nevertheless be differences from 2020 to 2021 as a result of the new method.

When will new figures be released? New figures will be published in October 2025.
