Description

The indicator shows the percentage of unemployed population relative to the entire employable population. High unemployment affects the reduction of average wages and expenses of the consumers. Since the consumers’ expenses represent the major part of all expenses, increasing unemployment often leads to deceleration of economic growth.

Effect of market

Generally the index has a moderate influence on the Yen dynamics. The fall in the unemployment rate is positive for the Japan currency.
