About This Dataset
Countries by Unemployment Rate 2025
Countries with the lowest unemployment rates globally in 2025, as a percentage of the active labour force. Several Gulf states and small advanced economies consistently record the lowest unemployment rates in the world, often below 1%. AI-assisted data based on ILO estimates.
Analysis
Netherlands heads the table on 3.60, ahead of Germany (3.40) and Switzerland (2.60) in Unemployment Rate (%) in 2025. 3.30 separates the highest figure (3.60) from the lowest (0.30) in Unemployment Rate (%). First and second are separated by 0.20, so the leader sits inside the field rather than apart from it. The field is close behind: 5 of the 8 sit at half the leader's figure or above (1.80+).
