In 1991 there were about 792,000 persons in employment (self-employed persons are not included, because in the previous social system this form of work was not widespread and it is assumed that this does not affect the quality of the assessment) and more than 91,100 registered unemployed persons; the registered unemployment rate was 10%.
V letu 1991 je bilo v Sloveniji okoli 792.000 delovno aktivnih oseb (samozaposleni niso zajeti v tem podatku; ker pa ta oblika dela v prejšnjem družbenem sistemu ni bila množična, se predvideva, da to bistveno ne vpliva na kakovost ocene); registriranih brezposelnih oseb je bilo okoli kot 91.100 (stopnja registrirane brezposelnosti je bila 10-odstotna).
