Etats-Unis : des revers au 3e trimestre entraînent une révision à la baisse de la prévision de croissance du PIB. Allemagne : à la recherche d'un parti expérimenté pour colorer la coalition « jaune et verte ». Les prix de l'énergie alimentent une nouvelle poussée inflationniste en Europe.
Chart of the month
Real gross domestic product in Switzerland is already above pre-crisis levels again. Seemingly in line with this development, the seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate, as measured by the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO), has recovered steadily since December 2020 to 2.9%. The unemployment rate in the Swiss Labour Force Survey (SLFS) paints a somewhat different picture. While the SECO unemployment rate is calculated on a reference date on the basis of the job seekers registered with a regional employment centre (RAV), the SLFS counts anyone who has been looking for a job for one month as unemployed.
