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 regions are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
