Abstract

This dataset comprises quarterly unemployment rates in Jordan from 2010 to 2024, alongside Google Trends search interest data for 88 unemployment-related keywords in Arabic and English. The unemployment rates, sourced from the Jordanian Department of Statistics, provide official figures over 14 years. The Google Trends data reflects public search behaviour related to unemployment and job seeking in Jordan. Keywords were selected through consultations with experts from governmental agencies, NGOs, and private job portals to include terms relevant to local dialects and current job market trends. The search data was aggregated using Mean Aggregation, Exponentially Weighted Moving Average, and Seasonally Adjusted Weighted Average to align with the quarterly unemployment rates. By integrating official statistics with enriched search data, this dataset offers a valuable resource for researchers and policymakers exploring the relationship between economic indicators and online search behaviour. It supports economics, social sciences, and data science. The dataset can aid in developing predictive models, analysing economic sentiment, and informing policy decisions in Jordan and similar contexts.

用于宏观经济估算的非传统数据--约旦失业率的应用。

该数据集包括约旦从2010年到2024年的季度失业率，以及谷歌Trends用阿拉伯语和英语搜索88个与失业相关的关键词的兴趣数据。来自约旦统计局的失业率提供了14年来的官方数字。谷歌Trends的数据反映了约旦与失业和求职相关的公众搜索行为。通过与政府机构、非政府组织和私营就业门户网站的专家协商，选择了与当地方言和当前就业市场趋势相关的关键词。搜索数据使用平均聚合、指数加权移动平均和季节性调整加权平均进行汇总，以与季度失业率保持一致。通过将官方统计数据与丰富的搜索数据相结合，该数据集为研究人员和决策者探索经济指标与在线搜索行为之间的关系提供了宝贵的资源。它支持经济学、社会科学和数据科学。该数据集可以帮助开发预测模型，分析经济情绪，并为约旦和类似情况下的政策决策提供信息。

期刊介绍： Scientific Data is an open-access journal focused on data, publishing descriptions of research datasets and articles on data sharing across natural sciences, medicine, engineering, and social sciences. Its goal is to enhance the sharing and reuse of scientific data, encourage broader data sharing, and acknowledge those who share their data. The journal primarily publishes Data Descriptors, which offer detailed descriptions of research datasets, including data collection methods and technical analyses validating data quality. These descriptors aim to facilitate data reuse rather than testing hypotheses or presenting new interpretations, methods, or in-depth analyses.
