About this ranking

Job seekers registered as unemployed at public employment offices on the last working day of the month.

Administrative count, available down to municipality. Not the survey-based unemployment rate.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the municipalities are compared on one definition. 5 municipalities with data in other periods have no value for January 2026 and are left out rather than filled from another source. Equal values share a rank.
