• OECD Employment Outlook is the OECD’s annual report on the state of the labour markets and employment across the OECD area.
• The 2009 edition is largely devoted to the effects of the financial and economic crisis on the labour market.
• It reports the unemployment has increased in most OECD countries, often at an unprecedented pace, and further increases are projected in 2010.
• It reviews how labour market and social policies can best help workers and low-income households weather the storm of the crisis, while also helping the working poor and individuals with health problems keep a foothold in the labour market.

The Summary in English is attached.
