The rate of unemployment was 17% in<br />
Somogy County at the end of the 2007, while<br />
the national average was 10%. In Figure 2, the<br />
South Transdanubian region where Somogy<br />
County is situated is marked in red. The<br />
figure shows that – in terms of unemployment<br />
– the NUTS3 region is one of the most<br />
problematic in Hungary and is in the least<br />
favorable situation in the relatively more<br />
developed West. The position of Somogy is<br />
the 4th worst in the country in this respect.<br />
Furthermore, one third of unemployment<br />
cases lasts more than one year, which again is<br />
a very unfavorable condition (Summary of the<br />
Results, 2008).<br />
