Comparing unemployment rate trajectories during this and previous recessions
The unemployment impact has differed greatly across countries
Some workforce groups have been hit especially hard, while women, older and high-skilled workers have fared better
Some industries have been hit harder than others, largely in keeping with historical patterns
The increase in unemployment was accompanied by growth of other forms of unemployment and underemployment
Hours worked fell for those who remained employed in almost all countries
The unemployment impact of the recession has been surprisingly uneven across countries
Recent unemployment developments reflect diverse impacts of the recession on real GDP, employment and participation
