Russland Arbeitslosenquote

Russia's unemployment rate fell back to a historic low of 2.9% in January 2024, compared to 3% in the prior month. This is primarily due to labor shortages of skilled workers caused by the emigration and mobilization of men for the war in Ukraine. The number of unemployed individuals declined by 139 thousand from the previous month to an all-time low of 2.150 million, but the officially registered unemployed increased to 0.480 million in January from 0.474 million the month before. In January 2023, the jobless rate was higher at 3.6%.
