%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;

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,
