1.9. Unemployment rate 10<br />
According to European standard, in 2011 the annual average unemployment rate in Styria was<br />
around 3,3% which is, compared to European regions, at the front positions. However, the<br />
unemployment rate in the regions is only calculated according to Austrian methods, which in<br />
2011 determined a value of 6,4%. The results presented in the following are therefore not<br />
suitable for international comparisons as they would be much lower according to international<br />
standards.<br />
The lo<strong>west</strong> unemployment rate in 2011 was determined in East-Styria with 5,1%, the region<br />
South-West Styria with 6,4% was exactly Styrian average. The highest unemployment rate with<br />
6,8% was determined in the Styrian central region. The highest long-term unemployment rate<br />
was finally found in upper Styria East with 0,14%. Overall, the long-term unemployment rate<br />
with 0,11% in Styria is comparatively low.<br />
In South-West Styria it is striking that in 2011 the district Leibniz (together with the district<br />
Bruck) had the highest unemployment rate of Styria with 7,2%, while the district<br />
Deutschlandsberg only had an unemployment rate of 5,6%. Styrian top-rated districts are Weiz<br />
with 4,0% and Fürstenfeld with 5,2% unemployment rate.<br />
