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); Ukraine 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, working age · Ukrstat labour force survey, ILO unemployment rate of the working-age population by region, 2015-2021; no survey since February 2022 · oblast data · as of Sep 2026.
