Why Joblessness Spiked in 2020

Treat this less like a trend and more like a set of individual events. Something different seems to be driving each up or down move rather than one consistent force.

This spike isn't a local labor-market failure — it's the pandemic. COVID-19 lockdowns shut down entire sectors overnight in 2020, and unemployment jumped in almost every economy at the same time.

This data comes from Viet Nam's statistical reporting, sourced from the link below. As with most cross-country indicator datasets, expect the underlying survey to run less often than annually, with gaps modeled in between.
