I am working on a project to review 2025 Q1 job market data by country. I haven't found anything consistent that shows the unemployment rates, estimate of actual job openings and in what sectors. Can someone point me in the right direction?

In the UK you should try the Office of National Statistics - I think it has quite a lot of international data.

At BASF, we're evaluating the structure of our rotational programs and would like to understand the best practices in other organizations (ideally chemical/manufacturing but open to all industries). We're looking at our rotational programs with fresh eyes, so feel free to answer as many or as few questions as you'd like – I appreciate it! Goals/Talent -What is the overarching goal of your program (e.g., to develop future executives/leaders, promote a diversity of skills/experiences, support succession planning, attract any talent)? -What types of talent do you target for the program (e.g., bachelor's, MBA, PhD, technical, production)? -How is post-program placement determined? Are participants guaranteed jobs, or do they need to apply for openings? Are they integrated into talent or leadership pipelines? -What specific skills and competencies do you aim to develop in participants during each rotation? -What methods do you use to evaluate participant performance during rotations, and how do you gather feedback? Rotations -How long is the entire program, and what is the length of each rotation? -How many rotations are included in the program, and how is mobility structured (all rotations in the same location/metro area or across different locations)? -Are the rotations domestic only, or do you include any international experiences? -How is rotation selection determined (participant-driven, business-driven, random, etc.)? -How are rotation assignments solicited? What's the criteria, how far in advance are they submitted and assigned to participants, etc.? -How do you ensure cross-functional exposure for participants, and what strategies do you use to facilitate this? Business Involvement -How do business units participate in the program, and what cost charge-back mechanisms are in place? -How do you incorporate mentorship and support into your program, and what resources are available to participants? -What opportunities do you offer for participants to network with leadership and peers throughout the program?

Similar to what was mentioned in an earlier post, the BLS and FRED Economic Data (St. Louis Fed) for US data could be a good place to start. For Europe, you could try Eurostat. The latest WEF Future of Jobs report could give you some high level insights depending on your needs.
