In the first quarter, the unemployment level in the backcountry was about 6,5% whereas there was only around 2% of people in downtown unemployed. From April to June, the unemployment situation in agricultural regions witnessed a sudden decrease, from 6,5% to about 4,5%. On the contrary, the percentage in built-up districts increased by approximately 2%.
Three months later, the figure for the rural zones steadily grew by 0,5% and almost stayed the same in the last three months. However, in metropolitans, the figure was the same as in the first period (2%). This trend proved negligible as it rose again to 4,5%.
