Persons registered with Public Employment Services

The number of persons registered with the public employment service as unemployed or as jobseeker is provided here as reference information. These groups are the main targets of labour market policy (LMP) interventions and may be used to put into context the numbers of participants benefiting from the different types of LMP intervention. Registered jobseekers are all persons who are currently registered as jobseekers with the Public Employment Services. Registered unemployed are persons who are registered jobseekers and at the same time fulfil the national criteria for consideration as registered unemployed, regardless of whether they receive unemployment-related benefits or not.
