The Unemployment Rate represents the number of unemployed as a percentage of the labour force. It is a lagging indicator but highly significant for monetary policy.
Released alongside NFP. A falling unemployment rate supports rate hike expectations and strengthens the currency. Watch the participation rate for hidden labour market slack.
