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. 15 municipalities with data in other periods have no value for June 2026 and are left out rather than filled from another source. Equal values share a rank.
