How to read this table
Employment levels in different parts of the world can be compared using individual rows, which specify the number of unemployed persons for each country. The list includes both Russia and foreign countries such as Austria or Belgium, making it easy to compare unemployment volumes across different economies. All values are provided in thousands of people, facilitating the analysis of trends over the entire available period
What is visible in these numbers
Five highest values: Russia (5 544), Spain (5 056), France (3 052), Italy (3 033), Germany (2 860). Gap between highest and lowest — by a factor of 61.6. The top five account for 63.3% of the total across all positions — distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual; total periods 8. 200 of 200 possible values filled (100%), i.e. the table is almost entirely complete
