What OECD employment data is
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an international body whose members include many of the world’s advanced and emerging economies. It gathers and publishes comparable statistics across policy areas, and its employment data covers labour-force participation, jobs, working conditions and related labour-market indicators.
The data is run by the OECD itself, working with the statistical agencies of its member countries to harmonise definitions so figures can be compared internationally. Its distinctive contribution is breadth across economies, which complements the more EU-focused view that bodies such as Eurostat provide.
How the data is organised
- Thematic labour and employment collections covering jobs, skills and working conditions.
- Indicators broken down by country, time period and other standard dimensions.
- Country-level pages that bring an economy’s labour indicators together.
- Methodology and definition notes describing how each indicator is built.
- An online data platform and downloadable tables for direct use.
How employers and candidates use it
- Reading an international, cross-economy view of labour markets from one official source.
- Comparing labour indicators beyond a single country or the EU alone.
- Checking definitions and coverage before relying on any indicator.
- Following methodology notes so figures are interpreted correctly.
- Returning to the official platform for the latest release rather than older copies.
How employers use OECD employment data
- Adding an international dimension to workforce and labour-market context.
- Locating official indicators that describe labour markets across economies.
- Grounding cross-border planning discussions in harmonised, source-level data.
- Confirming what an indicator measures before referencing it.
How candidates use OECD employment data
- Understanding labour-market context across countries when considering options abroad.
- Seeing how employment indicators are measured and compared internationally.
- Finding the relevant OECD dataset instead of relying on summaries.
- Reading definitions so an indicator is understood as intended.
Read the data at source
The OECD is the authoritative source for its own employment figures. This page is educational and reproduces no statistics, percentages or salary figures — datasets, definitions and release schedules change over time and should always be read on the official OECD site.
