According to ELSTAT, the monthly estimates are subject to revisions due to the updates of the seasonally adjusted series whenever new monthly data are added, as well as to the update of seasonal adjustment model with complete annual data.
Users should also take into account that the first estimates of the most recent
monthly unemployment rates are likely to be revised as they are produced on the basis of the survey data
collected and processed at the time of the press release publication, which do not coincide with the finally
collected and processed data. For this reason, the monthly estimates are revised when the final quarterly
estimates are made available.
