Switzerland Unemployment Rate reflects the share of unemployed individuals who were actively seeking employment in the reported month and were ready to immediately start working. The index includes individuals registered as unemployed in the Regional Employment Center (RAV), regardless of whether they are being paid unemployment benefits.

Unemployment growth can be seen as negative for the Swiss franc quotes.
