What the numbers say

  • 계룡시, South Korea leads at 0.1 %.
  • 금산군, South Korea sits at the other end with 0.7 %.
  • The middle of this ranking is 0.5 %, across 30 places that publish the metric.
  • The spread between first and last is 0.6 %.

What this measures

Every row is a published unemployment rate observation measured in %, ranked lowest first. The values were observed in 2025. A place appears only when it publishes this exact metric, so an absent place means missing data rather than a low value.

  • Compare the displayed value, unit, source date and geographic grain together.
  • A city label does not change a regional observation into a city measurement.
