Politare

Unemployment rate during each governor's tenure

Every governor since 1991, ranked by how the unemployment rate changed from their first day in office, next to Thailand 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 quarter complete before the first day in office ("from" marks a start that had to move because that period had no data, or because the period cut it); Thailand 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 · National Statistical Office, Labour Force Survey (data catalogue tables LFS_02_20542_22, LFS_02_20540 and LFS_02_20535_1), persons aged 15 and over, quarterly from 2020, Bangkok · province data · as of Jul 2026.
