Foreign Labor Statistics

Data Sources
Research on comparative labor statistics is based upon statistical data and other source materials from (a) statistical agencies of foreign countries; (b) international and supranational bodies such as the United Nations, International Labour Office (ILO), Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and the Statistical Office of the European Union (EUROSTAT); and (c) private agencies such as banks, industry associations, and research institutions. All foreign country data are drawn from secondary sources; BLS does not initiate surveys or data collection programs abroad.
