List of countries by unemployment rate

Today, I'm going to list countries by their unemployment rates. Due the form of government or sovereign issues there are countries unlisted (as North Korea or Northern Cyprus), but almost every state is listed.

The information is based on CIA information, but the newest dates are from different (reliable) sources:
