Does BLS publish data that compare the U.S. labor market to those of other countries around the world?
Since 1960, the BLS Division of International Labor Comparisons (ILC) has adjusted selected labor market data of foreign countries to improve their comparability with U.S. data. Showcasing data from the ILC program and other sources, A Chartbook of International Labor Comparisons is a gateway to explore how key labor market and other national economic measurements compare across countries. These comparisons help to gauge trends and to provide government officials and citizens worldwide the opportunity to learn from each other.
