The values were observed in 2020. A place appears only when it publishes this exact metric, so an absent place means missing data rather than a low value. Only published cities with at least 20,000 residents and city-level observations qualify. ## Sources Japan 2020 Census labor force status by municipality — https://www.e-stat.go.jp/stat-search/files?page=1&layout=datalist&cycle=0&toukei=00200521&tstat=000001136464&tclass1=000001136467&result_page=1&tclass2val=0&stat_infid=000032201175 総務省統計局 (e-Stat, 国勢調査2020 就業状態等基本集計 第1-2表) — https://www.e-stat.go.jp/stat-search/files?stat_infid=000032201175 ## Cite This citation identifies the ImmigrationDB compilation/page.
