- Notes
- CBSL SDDS 'More Data' workbook, DCS Labour Force Survey, quarterly. 2005 is entirely 'na' in the source (LFS was not run quarterly that year because of the tsunami - the source's own note) and 2011-Q4/2012-Q1 are 'na' too; both are left as gaps, not zero and not interpolated. Overlaps the held LK.LAB.LFS.UNEMPLOYMENT_RATE_PCT.Q (2015 on) - see check() for the shared 2015Q1-2017Q2 agreement; this series starts 11 years earlier (2004), so per the OVERLAP RULE both stay canonical and this series links to the held one as its predecessor.
