therefore analyse in detail some of the available employment indicators in a breakdown by county, such as the rate of unemployment and the number of unemployed graduates.
Six of the seven counties marked by the highest rates of unemployment are part of Northern Hungary (unemployment rate:
15.8%)and Northern Great Plain (13.6%),respectively. Western Transdanubia has the lowest rate of unemployment (8. 1),
%which is even lower than that of Central Hungary (9. 4%).It should be noted that there are major disparities in this region in respect to this particular employment indicator.
Gyor-Moson-Sopron (5. 8%)and Vas (6. 3%)counties have the lowest rates of unemployment;
on the other hand, unemployment is particularly high in Zala County (13), %which is practically on the same level as the counties of the Northern Great Plain region.

than for counties located east of the River Danube. In respect to innovation potential, the number of registered unemployed with a higher education degree is of paramount importance,
There is no apparent connection between this indicator and unemployment as such, however, part of the explanation must be that in highly developed regions there are many more job seekers with a degree, not to mention the brain drain phenomenon,

While there was strong growth in employment over the 10 years up to 2007, the downturn since then in the economy has resulted in increasing levels of unemployment and the number of unemployed stands at 36,100 or 15.1%(Q3nhs, July-Sept 2009).

The agriculture and food sector accounts for a significant proportion of output and employment, with the region having a higher than average reliance on this sector.
which there has been a shift towards services employment in recent years with a consequent reduction in the proportion of the labour force employed in the agricultural sector.

Traditional rural based sectors of employment in agriculture, forestry and fishing will continue to have key roles as a base for strong and diversified rural economies.

Job creation needs to focus on the advanced sectors, the public sector, health and education, retail, tourism, green energy and e-business.
Rural diversification is needed to create employment and generate economic prosperity. D4 Developing a self-sustaining forest industry based on a variety of species and a wide range of post-felling services.
Employment Growth The Settlement Strategy will be underpinned by economic development and employment growth. Employment growth should be located at main population centres
so that employment growth and population growth are linked in support of sustainable patterns of development. Implementation Following the adoption of these Guidelines
it will be the function of each constituent city and county council to review its city/county development plan in line with these population targets
