Norway’s non-seasonally adjusted unemployment rate increased to 2.10% in July 2026, up from 1.90% in June 2026, according to data updated on 31 July 2026. The latest figure marks a 0.20 percentage point rise over the month.
While the jobless rate remains low in absolute terms, the uptick signals a modest softening in Norway’s labour market over the summer period. The move from June’s 1.90% to July’s 2.10% will be closely watched by market participants and policymakers for signs of whether this is a temporary fluctuation or the beginning of a broader trend.
