175-30.00% unemployment rate World is stupidity if all big countries has lower unemployment rate and only few smaller countries have over 30% how can be than average 30%????
I was wondering the same thing myself. The factbook link states that there is "30% combined unemployment and underemployment in many non-industrialized countries; developed countries typically 4%-12% unemployment (2006 est.)." It seems that they listed the wrong statistic in the rankings. Natsirtguy ( talk) 08:49, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
It seems that the general consensus for this page is that we should rely on more up to date sources than CIA's World Factbook which as we all know is not updated for many weeks and is also expected to be biased. Joel, there is no Wikipedia policy for using only one source. Apart from that wikipedia is considered to be better than CIA World Factbook and we should not be copying from another encylopedia to update wikipedia. Wikipedia should also serve as latest statistically accurate news source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ankitsingh83 ( talk • contribs) 14:48, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
The best sources for updating this page should be the surveys, reports released by the Central Banks/Statistics Societies/Governments of the respective countries. Just like USA's Federal Reserve releases monthly unemployment data, the central banks and surveying authorities of most countries update this date in few months. CIA World Factbook is much behind many countries' own Central Banks and Statistical Departments. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ankitsingh83 ( talk • contribs) 14:51, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
0.6% unemployment for Uzbekistan is pure vandalism. The Uzbekistan wiki page itself cites an unemployment rate of 20%.
On other wiki lists, the country is said to have a 99.3% literacy rate, and to be one of the most egalitarian nations in the world.
Vandals have not yet found the wiki page for the corruption index, where Uzbekistan still ranks as one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Hmm...

I've updated the unemployment statistics and ranking for Japan based on a statistics bureau estimation. -- Pavithran 01:23, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Just a new thought. As we have the web why not get the unemployment figures from the governmental statistical agencies rather than some pie in the sky secondary source. ie Chinas rural unemployment is something like 30% so how can it have a overall estimation of about 5-9?? even the Chinese SSB who cooks there own books doesnt put it this low. Or maybe it is the real CIA??!! and then we know we have a conspiracy.
There was a severe discrepency in Canada's unemployment rate (CIA noted it as 6.8 and Statistics Canada notes it as 6.1) so I updated it with reference. This does through out of line the rankings. Maybe someone could invest the time in updating these rankings? Jeff 14:37, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
Out of curiosity, does anyone know why the United States is ranked at (by entity) 48, with an unemployment rate of 4.90%, when Mali, with an unemployment rate of 5.30% is at 47? Has the USA been misplaced? All the other countries are set out in the correct order of unemployment rates. Also, on the unemployment page it states that the US unemployment rate is 5.0%.

I find Mexico's low unemployment rate to be unbelievable. Why do they pour across the border for US jobs? This list is VERY unreliable.
I agree too. Do they get these numbers from the government of each country?
Mexico has a low unemployment rate because mexicans try harder and are more willing to work than the rest of us, exemplified by their excursions across the border.
Mexico has jobs but they have a low minimum wage 48 poesos a day. Thats why they pour across the border for US jobs. So they can make 5 dollars an hour instead of a day. Mexico city is the largest city in the world so there are jobs in mexico.
Mexico IS NOT the largest city in the world. That statement is so false as the low unemployment. IS Not the largest by population, Area or density. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_by_population
Why mexicans keep saying that ?
The Heritage Foundation, also said 3.4%, and while they are a conservative based site, they share the statistic. My thoughts are that you can get a job, but the pay and benifits are awful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.177.93.178 ( talk) 21:12, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
Removed EU, not a country.-- Numerousfalx 23:27, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
I'm sorry, but I can't believe that the economies of Uzbekistan, Cuba and Myanmar are really between the 20 most successful in the field of unemployment's rate. I rather think that theirs leaders are lying. I think this category of list is very interesting, but I propose that its sources should be changed, or fostered. For instance, the data of ONGs, ONU and other more or less neutral organizations should be considered.
Well think of it this way, some countries say they have 0% illiteracy, even though we know that there are some people, foreign imigrants are counted in the US for exaple who cannot speak the native language. Its simily becuase different countries measure things differentyl. Or in Cubas case, say whatever the people want to hear. Cuba tells there people they have a democracy and they always seem to elect the Castros. Now I think the embargo is stupid, but come one there is not even another party in Cuba running during these elections. ( I am sorry, I grew up and Flrodia and have too many freinds from Cuba, so this really bugs me) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.177.93.178 ( talk) 21:07, 27 June 2008 (UTC) Another issue is Vanuatu. I don't know the official numbers, but when I was there in 2006 the unemployment rate was about 20%. Their football team often don't play overseas because the players are too scared that they will not have a job when they get back home from a trip.

In the election last year in New Zealand, the current prime minister Helen Clark used New Zealand's current 'lowest unemployment rate in the OECD' as something to gather in votes. From sources, it seems that New Zealand has the lowest unemployment rate closley followed by South Korea.
no data has been achieved.
If more recent information is available for individual entries, which is probably the case with many of the 2004 estimates, should the new information replace the CIA information for the sake of up-to-dateness, or should the list stay as it is – until the next World Factbook is published – for the sake of comparability?
May monthly unemployment rates be given if they are newer than yearly rates? If so, should we use seasonally adjusted rates (for the sake of comparability to other entries' yearly rates) or unadjusted rates? Wikipeditor 03:48, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
More to the point, we appear to have citations referring to figures from various different points in time. Sometimes these are several years apart. So, these figures are not standardized at all, and do not in general allow for any kind of cross-comparison. I realize that people are trying to do their best with the data that they can source, but this approach removes any chance of the figures being comparable with each other. Therefore, the 'ranking' of countries in this page is largely meaningless. Any thoughts on how to resolve this? Resolving this without resorting to original research may require the input of an editor who is very familiar with the source data. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mauterongo ( talk • contribs) 21:12, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
This article should point out that the real U.S. jobless rate is vastly higher than the "official" rate. The fact is, the government only counts jobless people who are actively seeking employment and ignores the tens of millions of discouraged jobless people who have given up seeking a job.
I very much doubt the accuracy of the numbers given in the World Fact Book. Let's look at the latest Eurostat numbers in comparison : http://epp.eurostat.cec.eu.int/pls/portal/docs/PAGE/PGP_PRD_CAT_PREREL/PGE_CAT_PREREL_YEAR_2007/PGE_CAT_PREREL_YEAR_2007_MONTH_03/3-30032007-EN-BP.PDF and the World Fact Book numbers in brackets: Denmark 3.4 (3.8); Netherlands 3.5 (5.5); Irland 4.4 (4.3); Cyprus 4.5 (5.5); Austria 4.5 (4.9); Slovenia 4.7 (9.6); Estonia 4.9 (4.5); Luxembourg 5.0 (4.1); United Kingdom 5.4 (2.9); Lithuania 5.7 (3.7); Latvia 5.8 (6.5); Czech Republic 6.4 (8.4); Italy 6.5 (7.0); Malta 6.7 (6.8); Sweden 6.7 (5.6); Finland 7.0 (7.0); Germany 7.1 (7.1); Romania 7.3 (6.1); Portugal 7.5 (7.6); Belgium 7.7 (8.1); Hungary 7.9 (7.4); Bulgaria 8.2 (9.6); Greece 8.6 (9.2); Spain 8.6 (8.1); France 8.8 (8.7); Slovakia 11.0 (10.2); Poland 11.8 (14.9).
Eurostat is a compilation of official reconciled numbers from EU memberstates, from a point of accuracy it should be trusted as the prime source of data. In the case of the Netherlands, Slovenia, the UK, Lithuania, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria or Poland the World Fact Book is so far off that its credibility has to be seriously questioned. I suggest that "It should be noted that statistics are not directly comparable." in the intro is modified to say something like "It should be noted that the following statistics can not be directly compared with each other and in many cases deviate problematically from offical statistics."

I have updated this list to reflect the current US unemployment rate, based on US government employment numbers. This number (7.6%), is from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, which I have to say is the definitive resource for official US employment data.
Here is a link to their press release for your perusal.

Wisher ( talk) 17:57, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
Are you seriously suggesting that you'd prefer to have inaccurate, outdated information from a secondhand source as opposed to definitive, accurate data from the leading source? I see no reason for the 'all data must be from the same source' rule, especially when it's not a first source - the CIA does not, as a matter of policy deal with labor statistics - the World Factbook is merely an ancillary guide provided as a public service. The BLS on the other hand, is in the business of tracking and aggregating data relative to the US economy. Wisher ( talk) 18:07, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
Polaron - while I agree with what you're saying, that the same measure needs to be used for all the countries - in this case, it's a moot point. The CIA updates their US data with BLS data, and so within a few weeks they'll update their list to reflect this new number. Wisher ( talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 19:17, 6 February 2009 (UTC).
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the CIA only update the World Factbook on a yearly basis? I know they release a new edition every year, and I think the statistics would stay the same until the next edition. Worldruler20 ( talk) 08:31, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
There is no policy requirement that a single source be used. If the US Bureau of Labor Statistics reports a statistic, we can assume that the reported statistic is reliable and official and can, no we should report that statistic. Note that the note at the top of the article says "unless otherwise noted". A footnote indicating that this stat is from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics will take care of that. Finally, when applying guidelines, we should always be willing to accept a commonsense exception, especially when it reflects on the credibility of the encyclopedia. In this case, the world is seeing 7.6% in their headlines and, if wikipedia is reporting 7.2%, that's not good for our product. -- Regent's Park ( Rose Garden) 02:23, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
Is there any reason why only CIA data is used in this list? The rates for some countries are outdated and there are other sources out there which are frequently updated, and not estimated. -- Stefán Örvarr Sigmundsson ( talk) 15:05, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

This article is currently in alphabetical order of the countries, and in this way, it does not compare the countries by unemployment rate. That said, this list should be rearranged by the percent of the unemployment rate, not by alphabetical order, as soon as possible.

I would just like to bring it to attention that there is an error in how the list sorts when you choose to have it sorted by unemployment percentage.
Rather than sorting by percentage value, it places the numbers in numerical order. i.e. An example list of numbers from highest to lowest is sorted like this: 7.0, 60.0, 6.0, 5.0 rather than the correct way by decreasing value like this: 60.0, 7.0, 6.0, 5.0
I do not know how to fix or change this, but hopefully someone who does will read this.

The viewpoints expressed on the methodology page are clearly one person or group's opinion. Many, if not all of the claims made were unsourced.
There are legitimate debates about how best to measure unemployment. Using a specific method isn't proof of nefarious attempts by government to hide the numbers. Deazeveld ( talk) 04:47, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of List of countries by unemployment rate's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

175-30.00% unemployment rate World is stupidity if all big countries has lower unemployment rate and only few smaller countries have over 30% how can be than average 30%????
I was wondering the same thing myself. The factbook link states that there is "30% combined unemployment and underemployment in many non-industrialized countries; developed countries typically 4%-12% unemployment (2006 est.)." It seems that they listed the wrong statistic in the rankings. Natsirtguy ( talk) 08:49, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
It seems that the general consensus for this page is that we should rely on more up to date sources than CIA's World Factbook which as we all know is not updated for many weeks and is also expected to be biased. Joel, there is no Wikipedia policy for using only one source. Apart from that wikipedia is considered to be better than CIA World Factbook and we should not be copying from another encylopedia to update wikipedia. Wikipedia should also serve as latest statistically accurate news source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ankitsingh83 ( talk • contribs) 14:48, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
The best sources for updating this page should be the surveys, reports released by the Central Banks/Statistics Societies/Governments of the respective countries. Just like USA's Federal Reserve releases monthly unemployment data, the central banks and surveying authorities of most countries update this date in few months. CIA World Factbook is much behind many countries' own Central Banks and Statistical Departments. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ankitsingh83 ( talk • contribs) 14:51, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
0.6% unemployment for Uzbekistan is pure vandalism. The Uzbekistan wiki page itself cites an unemployment rate of 20%.
On other wiki lists, the country is said to have a 99.3% literacy rate, and to be one of the most egalitarian nations in the world.
Vandals have not yet found the wiki page for the corruption index, where Uzbekistan still ranks as one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Hmm...

Just a new thought. As we have the web why not get the unemployment figures from the governmental statistical agencies rather than some pie in the sky secondary source. ie Chinas rural unemployment is something like 30% so how can it have a overall estimation of about 5-9?? even the Chinese SSB who cooks there own books doesnt put it this low. Or maybe it is the real CIA??!! and then we know we have a conspiracy.
There was a severe discrepency in Canada's unemployment rate (CIA noted it as 6.8 and Statistics Canada notes it as 6.1) so I updated it with reference. This does through out of line the rankings. Maybe someone could invest the time in updating these rankings? Jeff 14:37, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

I find Mexico's low unemployment rate to be unbelievable. Why do they pour across the border for US jobs? This list is VERY unreliable.
I agree too. Do they get these numbers from the government of each country?
Mexico has a low unemployment rate because mexicans try harder and are more willing to work than the rest of us, exemplified by their excursions across the border.
Mexico has jobs but they have a low minimum wage 48 poesos a day. Thats why they pour across the border for US jobs. So they can make 5 dollars an hour instead of a day. Mexico city is the largest city in the world so there are jobs in mexico.
Mexico IS NOT the largest city in the world. That statement is so false as the low unemployment. IS Not the largest by population, Area or density. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_by_population
Why mexicans keep saying that ?

I'm sorry, but I can't believe that the economies of Uzbekistan, Cuba and Myanmar are really between the 20 most successful in the field of unemployment's rate. I rather think that theirs leaders are lying. I think this category of list is very interesting, but I propose that its sources should be changed, or fostered. For instance, the data of ONGs, ONU and other more or less neutral organizations should be considered.
Well think of it this way, some countries say they have 0% illiteracy, even though we know that there are some people, foreign imigrants are counted in the US for exaple who cannot speak the native language. Its simily becuase different countries measure things differentyl. Or in Cubas case, say whatever the people want to hear. Cuba tells there people they have a democracy and they always seem to elect the Castros. Now I think the embargo is stupid, but come one there is not even another party in Cuba running during these elections.

In the election last year in New Zealand, the current prime minister Helen Clark used New Zealand's current 'lowest unemployment rate in the OECD' as something to gather in votes. From sources, it seems that New Zealand has the lowest unemployment rate closley followed by South Korea.
no data has been achieved.
If more recent information is available for individual entries, which is probably the case with many of the 2004 estimates, should the new information replace the CIA information for the sake of up-to-dateness, or should the list stay as it is – until the next World Factbook is published – for the sake of comparability?
May monthly unemployment rates be given if they are newer than yearly rates? If so, should we use seasonally adjusted rates (for the sake of comparability to other entries' yearly rates) or unadjusted rates? Wikipeditor 03:48, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
More to the point, we appear to have citations referring to figures from various different points in time. Sometimes these are several years apart. So, these figures are not standardized at all, and do not in general allow for any kind of cross-comparison. I realize that people are trying to do their best with the data that they can source, but this approach removes any chance of the figures being comparable with each other. Therefore, the 'ranking' of countries in this page is largely meaningless. Any thoughts on how to resolve this? Resolving this without resorting to original research may require the input of an editor who is very familiar with the source data. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mauterongo ( talk • contribs) 21:12, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
This article should point out that the real U.S. jobless rate is vastly higher than the "official" rate. The fact is, the government only counts jobless people who are actively seeking employment and ignores the tens of millions of discouraged jobless people who have given up seeking a job.
I very much doubt the accuracy of the numbers given in the World Fact Book. Let's look at the latest Eurostat numbers in comparison : http://epp.eurostat.cec.eu.int/pls/portal/docs/PAGE/PGP_PRD_CAT_PREREL/PGE_CAT_PREREL_YEAR_2007/PGE_CAT_PREREL_YEAR_2007_MONTH_03/3-30032007-EN-BP.PDF and the World Fact Book numbers in brackets: Denmark 3.4 (3.8); Netherlands 3.5 (5.5); Irland 4.4 (4.3); Cyprus 4.5 (5.5); Austria 4.5 (4.9); Slovenia 4.7 (9.6); Estonia 4.9 (4.5); Luxembourg 5.0 (4.1); United Kingdom 5.4 (2.9); Lithuania 5.7 (3.7); Latvia 5.8 (6.5); Czech Republic 6.4 (8.4); Italy 6.5 (7.0); Malta 6.7 (6.8); Sweden 6.7 (5.6); Finland 7.0 (7.0); Germany 7.1 (7.1); Romania 7.3 (6.1); Portugal 7.5 (7.6); Belgium 7.7 (8.1); Hungary 7.9 (7.4); Bulgaria 8.2 (9.6); Greece 8.6 (9.2); Spain 8.6 (8.1); France 8.8 (8.7); Slovakia 11.0 (10.2); Poland 11.8 (14.9).
Eurostat is a compilation of official reconciled numbers from EU memberstates, from a point of accuracy it should be trusted as the prime source of data. In the case of the Netherlands, Slovenia, the UK, Lithuania, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria or Poland the World Fact Book is so far off that its credibility has to be seriously questioned. I suggest that "It should be noted that statistics are not directly comparable." in the intro is modified to say something like "It should be noted that the following statistics can not be directly compared with each other and in many cases deviate problematically from offical statistics."

I have updated this list to reflect the current US unemployment rate, based on US government employment numbers. This number (7.6%), is from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, which I have to say is the definitive resource for official US employment data.
Here is a link to their press release for your perusal.

Wisher ( talk) 17:57, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
Are you seriously suggesting that you'd prefer to have inaccurate, outdated information from a secondhand source as opposed to definitive, accurate data from the leading source? I see no reason for the 'all data must be from the same source' rule, especially when it's not a first source - the CIA does not, as a matter of policy deal with labor statistics - the World Factbook is merely an ancillary guide provided as a public service. The BLS on the other hand, is in the business of tracking and aggregating data relative to the US economy. Wisher ( talk) 18:07, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
Polaron - while I agree with what you're saying, that the same measure needs to be used for all the countries - in this case, it's a moot point. The CIA updates their US data with BLS data, and so within a few weeks they'll update their list to reflect this new number. Wisher ( talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 19:17, 6 February 2009 (UTC).
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the CIA only update the World Factbook on a yearly basis? I know they release a new edition every year, and I think the statistics would stay the same until the next edition. Worldruler20 ( talk) 08:31, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
There is no policy requirement that a single source be used. If the US Bureau of Labor Statistics reports a statistic, we can assume that the reported statistic is reliable and official and can, no we should report that statistic. Note that the note at the top of the article says "unless otherwise noted". A footnote indicating that this stat is from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics will take care of that. Finally, when applying guidelines, we should always be willing to accept a commonsense exception, especially when it reflects on the credibility of the encyclopedia. In this case, the world is seeing 7.6% in their headlines and, if wikipedia is reporting 7.2%, that's not good for our product. -- Regent's Park ( Rose Garden) 02:23, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
Is there any reason why only CIA data is used in this list? The rates for some countries are outdated and there are other sources out there which are frequently updated, and not estimated. -- Stefán Örvarr Sigmundsson ( talk) 15:05, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

I would just like to bring it to attention that there is an error in how the list sorts when you choose to have it sorted by unemployment percentage.
Rather than sorting by percentage value, it places the numbers in numerical order. i.e. An example list of numbers from highest to lowest is sorted like this: 7.0, 60.0, 6.0, 5.0 rather than the correct way by decreasing value like this: 60.0, 7.0, 6.0, 5.0
I do not know how to fix or change this, but hopefully someone who does will read this.

What is the purpose of having an asterisk behind almost every listing? It would make more sense to specify in text, and then to highlight exceptions as needed. Greenman ( talk) 12:54, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of List of countries by unemployment rate's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "Istat":
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT ⚡ 15:47, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
