The highest unemployment rate in Russia is in the North Caucasus

According to the new RIA Novosti rating, the unemployment situation in a number of regions of the North Caucasus remains difficult. In the second quarter of 2025, Ingushetia, Dagestan, North Ossetia, Chechnya and Karachay-Cherkessia occupied the last lines of the rating (from 81st to 85th places).

The worst unemployment situation is in Ingushetia and Dagestan, where its level reached 26% and 10.9%, respectively, exceeding the indicators of all other regions of Russia.

In North Ossetia, the unemployment rate was 7.4%, in Chechnya - 6.9%, in Karachay-Cherkessia - 6.7%.

In the rating of regions by the minimum unemployment rate, Moscow (0.8%) and the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug (1%) are in the lead. In only 13 federal subjects, this figure does not exceed 1.5%.

The longest period of job search is recorded in Amur Region (11 months), Zabaikalsky Krai (9 months) and Dagestan (more than 8 months).

It is noteworthy that recently the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov announced impressive progress in reducing the unemployment rate in the republic. According to him, this figure has fallen from 76% in 2007, when he headed the republic, to 4.5% today.
