Latest data released by the Federal Statistics Office - 8 March 2021

  • Prior 3.7%
  • Seasonally adjusted unemployment rate 3.6% vs 3.6% expected
  • Prior 3.5%

A bit of a mixed report as the headline drops but the seasonally adjusted rate creeps a little higher last month. That said, it is tough to draw much conclusions as the furlough program has masked the actual underlying impact of the pandemic on the labour market.
