Employment rates are high in the small Island economies of the Faroe Islands, Iceland and Åland, and these stick out as the regions with the highest employment rates in the Nordic region. Together with Kujalleq in Greenland all of the 65 municipalities with the lowest employment rates are Finnish (with employment rates between 52 and 59%). Norway has a high employment rate in general except for Østfold. Only four of the Swedish regions had employment rates slightly under the Nordic average – Värmland, Skåne, Gävleborg and Östergötland. The municipalities in the north that have a strong mining and industrial tradition generally have high employment rates. Malmö however sticks out with its low employment rate (under 65%). The Danish regions all have employment rates close to the Nordic average in 2013 - from Midtjylland (72.9%) to Syddanmark (71.2%). Municipalities close to Copenhagen – Allerød, Egedal, Dragør and Hørsholm have employment rates around 80%. Odense, Langeland, Svendborg and Nyborg in Syddanmark are among the municipalities with the lowest employment rates in Denmark (65-69 %).
