Even though unemployment rate related regional imbalances are particularly large between local labour markets in Sweden and Finland, a different perspective can be detected when looking at unemployment disparities within local labour markets where large differences in unemployment rates can be seen in municipalities located within the same local labour market. Such disparities are rather small in Norway while Denmark, Finland and Sweden display the entire spectrum of high and low disparities in terms of LLMs.
These disparities are measured by means of a standard deviation which shows how much variation or 'dispersion' exists from the average value. A low standard deviation indicates that the unemployment rates in municipalities located in the same LLM are similar while a high standard deviation indicates that a large range exists in terms of rates.
