Registered unemployment rate during each governing mayor's tenure

Every governing mayor since 1991, ranked by how the registered unemployment rate 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.

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); Norway 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 to 74, registered with NAV · Statistics Norway, register-based labour force status (table 13563): residents aged 15 to 74 registered as unemployed with NAV over the labour force (the employed and the registered unemployed) in the fourth quarter, yearly from 2008; the division is Politare's · city (the municipality's residents) data · as of Jul 2026.
