It should be noted that according to ELSTAT, monthly estimates are subject to revisions due to the updating of seasonally adjusted time series whenever new monthly data is added, as well as updates to the seasonal adjustment model with complete annual data.
In addition, initial estimates of the unemployment rate for the last month may be revised as they are generated with collected and processed data at the time of the announcement, which may not align with the final collected and processed data. Monthly estimates are revised when the final quarterly estimates become available.
