    Registered unemployment

    The monthly unemployment indicator is published 10-12 days after the end of the reference month, the monthly unemployment statistics is published roughly 28 days after the end of the reference month, the quarterly statistics is published roughly 80 days after the end of the reference quarter and the yearly statistics is published roughly 100 days after the end of the reference year. The exact official release dates are always published a year ahead.

    Timeliness and time lag - final results

    The statistics appear monthly in 'Nyt fra Danmarks Statistik' (News from Statistics Denmark), typically the last Thursday of the subsequent calendar, corresponding to a "delay" of about 1 month in relation to the reference month. The monthly unemployment figures are available from the database StatBank Denmark at 8:00 a.m. on the same day as News from Statistics Denmark is published. Quarterly and annual figures on unemployment are also available from StatBank Denmark. The quarterly statistics is published roughly 80 days after the end of the reference quarter and the yearly statistics is published roughly 100 days after the end of the reference year. The exact official release dates are always published a year ahead.

    Punctuality

    An annual schedule is prepared (at the latest) in October for the next year's publications of unemployment statistics. The scheduled publication dates has in fact been observed for the last 20 years.
