Map of world unemployment rates

This is a list of unemployment rates for various countries. Unless indicated otherwise, statistics are based on The World Factbook.1 Several non-sovereign entities are also included in this list. Note that different states, NGOs, and agencies estimate unemployment rates using different definitions and methodologies. Given the dramatic differences in cultural attitudes towards the workforce and working conditions that exist even between Western countries, a definition that is both descriptive and objective probably does not exist. Questions like how is a part-time job counted, how long until someone is out of the workforce, and the status of subsistence living have not been agreed upon. In short, these figures are not directly comparable.

Comparable unemployment rates

Because international comparisons of unemployment rates can be misleading, several organizations adjust unemployment rates to a common concept to allow accurate international comparisons. These comparisons generally pertain to developed countries and are prepared by the Division of International Labor Comparisons, Eurostat, and the statistical division of the OECD.2
