To identify websites containing labor statistics, specifically data sets that show employment history and projections for different job categories within the following economies: United Kingdom, Germany, France, China, India, Canada, Japan, Italy, Brazil, Russia, South Korea, Spain, Mexico, Indonesia, Netherlands, Turkey, and Switzerland. 

Early Findings

United KingdomThe Office for National Statistics collates employment data in the United Kingdom.  The data is divided into two categories:
 Employment statistics includes the following data:
 Earnings and working hours;
 Employment and employment types;
Labor productivity;
Public sector personnel;
 Workplace disputes and working conditions; and
Workplace pensions 
 Unemployment statistics which includes the following data:
Economic inactivity;
Out of work benefits;
 Redundancies; and
 Unemployment 
GermanyStatistisches Bundesamt collates employment data for Germany:
 Employment statistics which includes the following data (all are accessible from same page):
Employment;
Men and Women;
Atypical employment;
Commuter; and
Unused labor supply
 Unemployment statistics which includes the following data (all are accessible from same page):
Unemployed;
Registered unemployed
SummaryIn our initial hour of research, we have identified the relevant organization responsible for collating labor market statistics in the United Kingdom and Germany.  We have also identified the information that is publicly available within each organization.  We suggest research to identify similar data for the remaining countries.
We anticipate there will be some language issues in relation to some of the countries.  Google Translate should be sufficient to understand these pages but the translation will add time to the project.
