Country ranking by unemployment rate for 2010
Country ranking by “Unemployment rate” for 2010. The table covers 49 countries with a published value; another 6 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.
