About this indicator

Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE)
Frequency
Quarterly
Release
About 45 days after the calendar quarter closes, at 09:00 Brasilia time.
What it is
QUARTERLY reading of IBGE's Continuous PNAD: the unemployment rate for the calendar quarter (Jan-Mar, Apr-Jun, Jul-Sep, Oct-Dec), with regional and job-characteristics detail that the monthly (rolling-quarter) release does not include. The national headline matches the rolling quarter ending in the last month of the quarter, released weeks earlier; hence this sheet is separate from the monthly one and shares neither its series nor its forecasts.
