Politare

Employment rate during each prime minister's tenure

Every prime minister since 1991, ranked by how the employment rate changed from their first day in office. Politare shows what happened during a tenure; it does not claim the office-holder caused it.

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); 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: people in work in an average month over the permanent residents aged 15 and over, from 2008 (to 2015 the old tables' counts) · Greenland data · as of Sep 2026.
