Jobs in the city during each governing mayor's tenure

Every governing mayor since 1991, ranked by how jobs in the city changed from their first day in office, next to Norway over the same months. Politare shows what happened during a tenure; it does not claim the office-holder caused it.

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); Norway is measured over the same months. Levels are per cent changes, rates are differences in %; "per year" compounds levels and divides rates. Tenures with under 12 months, or under three observations, are left out. thousands, at workplaces in the municipality · Statistics Norway, register-based employment statistics (table 03321): people employed at a workplace in Oslo in the fourth quarter, whatever their residence (the commuters from Akershus included), yearly from 2000, SSB's revised series from 2005 · city (workplaces in the municipality) data · as of Jul 2026.
