Unemployment by region in Japan

July 16, 2009
By Ken Worsley


Over at the Mutantfrog Travelogue, Curzon takes a look at unemployment by prefecture in Japan. While some of the results are unsurprising, such as Okinawa having the highest unemployment rate, other results seem to raise the eyebrows - I never would have guessed that Shimane has the lowest unemployment rate in Japan. The original map, with unemployment listings by prefecture in Japanese, can be found at Maps of Japan.

    That page says that it was from 2007.

    Matt, that is true. I would like to see how this has changed since then and the data is available each month from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, though they don’t tend to make such a nice map.

Got something to say?
