Title
Unemployment rate %
Abstract

Unemployed people are those who, during the reference week:
(a) had no employment and
(b) were available to start work within the next two weeks and
(c) had actively sought employment at some time during the previous four weeks.

In addition, unemployed people include those who had no employment and had already found a job that would start later. The harmonised unemployment rate provides the number of unemployed people as a percentage of the labour force (the total number of people employed plus unemployed).

This map shows the unemployment rate distribution in the Alps (Germany and Switzerland LAU 2 level data not available). According to the maps, the overall Alpine situation is not homogenous. The unemployment rate ranges from 2.5% in Liechtenstein to 11.2% in the Slovenian Alpine area. Except for Slovenia, the average unemployment rate is lower in the Alps than in the country as a whole. There are differences also within Alpine countries, with areas such as South Tyrol in Italy or parts of Eastern Savoie in France that show lower unemployment rates than other Alpine areas belonging to the same country.
