The distribution of unemployed persons by job search duration from 2017 to 2022 is shown as a percentage of the total. Rows are categorized as: total unemployed, those searching for up to 3 months, and those searching for 3 to 6 months. Data from the Labour Force Survey show the share of each group in the total number of unemployed for each year

Set in numbers
Rosstat data for 2017–2022. Rows: 36, periods: 6. Breakdown by categories: Unemployed — total; Unemployed — up to 3 months; Unemployed — from 3 to 6 months; Unemployed — from 6 to 12 months; Unemployed — 12 months or more and others
Unemployed — total: indicator unchanged from 100 to 100 for 2017–2022. This is an average 0% annual growth. Up to 2020 the change was +0%, after — +0%. Of the 20 largest rows, 10 increased, 10 decreased
Row differences allow for assessing the proportion of people finding employment quickly versus those experiencing longer search periods. Comparing the 'up to 3 months' and '3 to 6 months' indicators enables tracking short-term and medium-term unemployment dynamics. As values are expressed as a percentage of the total, the sum of all shares in the structure always equals 100 percent, facilitating intra-group share analysis
What is visible in these numbers
Five highest values: Unemployed — total (100), Unemployed (excluding those studying in educational institutions) (100), Unemployed (excluding those studying in educational institutions) (100), Persons studying in educational institutions — (100), Old-age pensioners (including those with early retirement) (100). The gap between the highest and lowest is 28.6 times. The top five account for 50.3% of the total across all categories — the distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Annual observations, the dataset contains 6 observation periods. There are 150 values in the table out of 150 possible, which is 100% — almost no empty cells remain
