Unemployment Rate is a percentage of unemployed workers in relation to China's total civilian labor force. The indicator is calculated based on seasonally adjusted data. A decline in the unemployment rate is an indication of an increase in the purchasing power of the population, which can stimulate the national economy and thus have a positive effect on the yuan quotes.
