Showing 10 of 999 tenures.
Sorted by total, highest first. Rows measure the share of the labour force out of work, as each statistics office surveys it (age bands and survey months differ); each place is read from its own
statistics office's series (the row's chart names it), so a change is set against the place's own first day, never against another
country's level. Every row is indexed to the last month, quarter or count 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); each place's own state or country is measured over the same months.
Changes are differences in pp; "per year" divides them by the years in office.
Tenures with under 12 months, or under three observations, are left out. Data as of Sep 2026.
