The table compares the unemployment rates of nine different nations in 1994 and 2004.
Overall, the proportion of jobless people dropped in five countries over the decade, while the figure increased in the remaining four nations. It is also noticeable that Ireland saw the most dramatic fall in unemployment, whereas Poland replaced Ireland as the country with the highest jobless rate in 2004.
In 1994, Ireland had the highest unemployment rate at 14.8%, followed by Poland (12.4%), Italy (11.8%) and Canada (10.6%). By contrast, Japan had the lowest share of unemployed workforce, at only 2.7%, which was less than one fifth of that of Ireland.
By 2004, Ireland’s unemployment rate had plummeted to just 4.4%, the largest decline among all listed countries. In comparison, the jobless rate in Poland climbed to 19%, making it the country with the highest unemployment. Germany and Japan also witnessed a rise in unemployment, to 9.4% and 4.7% respectively, while Australia’s rate increased slightly to 5.4%. For the other four countries (Italy, Canada, the UK and the USA), unemployment rates decreased to varying degrees, with the UK and USA seeing their figures drop to 4.7% and 5.4% each.
