Labour Force Participation Rate, National Quarterly Series, Q1 2018 to Q4 2022. ⚠ NOT A CONTINUOUS SERIES. NBS changed its unemployment definition from Q4 2022: values before that use the OLD methodology, 2022Q4 uses the NEW one, and the two are not comparable — unemployment reads 46.5% (2018Q1), 28.1% (2020Q4), then 5.4% (2022Q4). Do not draw one line through the break; filter on revision_status ('old_methodology' = pre-Q4-2022 definition, NULL = current). The marker is sourced from the chapter introduction (pdf page 128), not inferred from the jump. Source: NBS Annual Abstract of Statistics 2023, Table 88.
