Unemployment rate during each mayor's tenure

Every mayor since 1991, ranked by how the unemployment rate changed from their first day in office, next to North Macedonia over the same months. 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); North Macedonia 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 labour force, 15 and over · State Statistical Office (MAKStat), Labour Force Survey, rates of the population aged 15 and over by statistical region, yearly: the revised series on the 2021 census from 2017, the archived series before (from 2009) · Skopje statistical region (the City of Skopje and the seven municipalities around it) data · as of Apr 2026.
