Unemployed are those people within the economically active population who; (a)did not work during the seven days prior to the interview, (b) want to work and are available to start work within a week of the interview, and (c) have taken active steps to look for work or to start some form of self-employment in the four weeks prior to the interview. Formal sector employment figures may be obtained from various other Stats SA data sets, including the Survey of Employment and earnings (SEE), which collects information on formal employment in South Africa (excluding certain industries, divisions and activities). There is a major difference between SEE and LFS. SEE obtains data from businesses, while in the LFS households, rather than businesses, are sampled. The SEE thus exclude persons working in the informal sector.
A higher than expected reading should be taken as negative/bearish for the ZAR , while a lower than expected reading should be taken as positive/bullish for the ZAR.

Unemployment Rate Discussion

Comment Guidelines

We encourage you to use comments to engage with users, share your perspective and ask questions of authors and each other. However, in order to maintain the high level of discourse we’ve all come to value and expect, please keep the following criteria in mind: 

  • Enrich the conversation
  • Stay focused and on track. Only post material that’s relevant to the topic being discussed.
  • Be respectful. Even negative opinions can be framed positively and diplomatically.
  •  Use standard writing style. Include punctuation and upper and lower cases.
  • NOTE: Spam and/or promotional messages and links within a comment will be removed
  • Avoid profanity, slander or personal attacks directed at an author or another user.
  • Don’t Monopolize the Conversation. We appreciate passion and conviction, but we also believe strongly in giving everyone a chance to air their thoughts. Therefore, in addition to civil interaction, we expect commenters to offer their opinions succinctly and thoughtfully, but not so repeatedly that others are annoyed or offended. If we receive complaints about individuals who take over a thread or forum, we reserve the right to ban them from the site, without recourse.
  • Only English comments will be allowed.

Perpetrators of spam or abuse will be deleted from the site and prohibited from future registration at Investing.com’s discretion.
