This table contains figures on the not seasonally adjusted registered unemployment and the seasonally adjusted registered unemployment.
Data available from: December 1988/February 1989
Status of the figures: Figures based on the LFS are always final.
Changes as of December 1st: July 2010 Statistics Netherlands has implemented a new method for creating unemployment data. For the first time Statistics Netherlands is able to publish monthly figures about unemployment. In order to fit quarterly and yearly figures based on the LFS to these new unemployment data, the weighing method of the LFS has been improved. Because of this all quarterly and yearly figures have been revised from 2001. The years before 2001 are not revised, for these years the same figures are used that were already published. For the tables on the registered unemployment this new method means that it is no longer possible to publish monthly figures based on three-month-averages as was done before. Tables, such as this table, that still contain three-month-averages on the registered unemployment are stopped and continued in new tables in which from publicationyear 2001 and onwards quarterly figures will be published.
When will new figures be published? This table is stopped.

The tech industry had a rough start to 2024. Technology companies worldwide saw a significant reduction in their workforce in the first quarter of 2024, with over 57 thousand employees being laid off. By the second quarter, layoffs impacted more than 43 thousand tech employees. In the final quarter of the year around 12 thousand employees were laid off. Layoffs impacting all global tech giants Layoffs in the global market escalated dramatically in the first quarter of 2023, when the sector saw a staggering record high of 167.6 thousand employees losing their jobs. Major tech giants such as Google, Microsoft, Meta, and IBM all contributed to this figure during this quarter. Amazon, in particular, conducted the most rounds of layoffs with the highest number of employees laid off among global tech giants. Industries most affected include the consumer, hardware, food, and healthcare sectors. Notable companies that have laid off a significant number of staff include Flink, Booking.com, Uber, PayPal, LinkedIn, and Peloton, among others. Overhiring led the trend, but will AI keep it going? Layoffs in the technology sector started following an overhiring spree during the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially, companies expanded their workforce to meet increased demand for digital services during lockdowns. However, as lockdowns ended, economic uncertainties persisted and companies reevaluated their strategies, layoffs became inevitable, resulting in a record number of 263 thousand laid off employees in the global tech sector by trhe end of 2022. Moreover, it is still unclear how advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) will impact layoff trends in the tech sector. AI-driven automation can replace manual tasks leading to workforce redundancies. Whether through chatbots handling customer inquiries or predictive algorithms optimizing supply chains, the pursuit of efficiency and cost savings may result in more tech industry layoffs in the future.
