Data/Studies on URBAN UNEMPLOYMENT

Dear gracious ULN members,

I am doing some research on labour issues in urban areas and need some statistics (numbers or percentage rates) that can help me construct a global picture of unemployment rates in urban areas in the recent years. I have done some research, but haven’t unfortunately come across any publications (yet) that would provide any information or analysis of the sort. I am also interested in this same data for rural areas. Does any of you happen to know any leads that could help me out with my research? I would appreciate your help a lot. Look forward to hearing from you.

Best,

Saboor
