In the second quarter of 2026, the Tambov region took 19th place in the ranking of regions in terms of unemployment. The indicator in the region was 1.5% – this is below the all-Russian level, which remained at a record low of 2.2%.
The study was conducted by RIA Novosti. The leaders of the rating were Nizhny Novgorod and Kaluga regions, where unemployment was less than 1%. In four more regions – Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug, Khabarovsk Territory, Novgorod Region and the Republic of Khakassia – the figure was 1%. In total, in sixteen subjects of the Russian Federation, the unemployment rate is below 1.5%.
Outsiders of the list are expected to be the regions of the North Caucasus: Ingushetia (22.6%), Dagestan (10.1%) and North Ossetia (6.5%).
The average time for job search by region in the second quarter ranged from a month with little to more than ten months. Residents of the Saratov and Astrakhan regions, the Republic of Kalmykia and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug find new jobs the fastest – less than two months. In the Tambov region, it takes an average of 4.7 months to find work - about the same in the Nizhny Novgorod, Irkutsk and Vologda regions.
