Observatory on employment in the Western Balkans

The Observatory contains select macro-economic and labour market indicators, showcasing the trends in the Western Balkan region

Information & Monitoring

Observatory data were updated on 23 December 2024, to include macro, annual and quarterly employment data from the EU Candidate Countries’ & Potential Candidates’ Economic Quarterly (CCEQ) – Western Balkans and Türkiye. 3rd Quarter 2024, LFSs, and monthly data from Western Balkans’ Public Employment Services (PESs). Since some WB economies had revised their earlier LFS methodology/data reporting, it caused changes in prior Observatory data, reflected in the latest updates.
