Sorted by total, highest first. Every row is indexed to the last count complete before the first day in office ("from" marks a start that had to move because that count had no data, or because the period cut it); Greenland is measured over the same months. Levels are per cent changes, rates are differences in pp; "per year" compounds levels and divides rates. Tenures with under 12 months, or under three observations, are left out. % of permanent residents aged 15 and over, register-based · Statistics Greenland, register-based labour statistics for permanent residents, yearly: the discontinued tables to 2015, the current ones from 2016 (ARXBFB6_old, ARXBFB05): people in work in an average month over the permanent residents aged 15 and over, the Nuuk district's towns, from 2008 (to 2015 the old tables' counts) · city (Nuuk town's residents) data · as of Sep 2026.
