Atvinnuleysistölur

Atvinnuleysistölur refers to unemployment figures or statistics in Iceland. These numbers are closely monitored by government agencies, economists, and the public as key indicators of the health of the Icelandic labor market and the overall economy. The primary source for these figures is Statistics Iceland (Hagstofa Íslands), which collects and publishes data on a regular basis.

These statistics typically include the unemployment rate, which is the percentage of the labor force that is unemployed and actively seeking work. They also often provide data on the number of unemployed individuals, the duration of unemployment, and breakdowns by age, gender, and region. Changes in atvinnuleysistölur can signal economic shifts, influencing policy decisions related to employment services, education, and economic stimulus. Public discussion in Iceland frequently revolves around these figures, especially during periods of economic growth or downturn.
