Unemployment rate (ILO)
5.2
1991-01-01 – 2026-03-01

The ILO unemployment rate (%), the internationally comparable definition. This is deliberately kept alongside the SNB/SECO registered unemployment series (ch_snb_amarbma): they measure different things (ILO survey-based vs registered at job centres) and should not be deduplicated into one. Monthly averages.
