Highly educated without a job

the Unemployment rate among those with higher education has increased by 8 per cent from november 2015 to november 2016, a growth rate of 1.187 persons. The growth came on the East and west coast.

For those with primary schooling as highest education, there was a decline in the unemployment rate from november 2015 to november 2016 at 6 per cent.

California had the strongest growth in registered unemployment by 13 per cent. Rogaland had the second highest growth in registered available with 11 per cent. The increased unemployment rate among those with higher education must be viewed in the context of reduced employment in oil-related industries, where the education level is relatively high.

Consider themselves available

The ledighetstall is based on LFS – labour force survey – and reflect how many who consider themselves as unemployed. Figures from the Labour and welfare service (nav) is the number of registered unemployed among them.

Typically, the LFS unemployment rate will be greater than the Nav the unemployment rate because many are truly unemployed, not registered with Nav. This applies in particular to people who are new on the labour market and who are not entitled to unemployment benefits.
