Country ranking by unemployment rate for 2007
Country ranking by “Unemployment rate” for 2007. The table covers 48 countries with a published value; another 7 in the world catalogue have no value for this year. For Russia the ranking uses the unemployment rate from Rosstat’s labour force survey. Foreign values follow Eurostat’s harmonised methodology. Both measures are close in meaning (share of unemployed in the labour force), but age coverage and survey details may differ.
