The number of workers in the Principality is nearly twice that of the residents, so some traditional labour market indicators cannot be directly calculated within the Principality. This is particularly the case for the employment rate, which measures the proportion of people of working age (typically between 15 and 64 years old) who are employed, and the unemployment rate, which represents the proportion of active individuals (of working age and actively seeking employment) who are unemployed.
