The list published in June 2013 by Ilta-Sanomat shows that Liipola has clearly the highest unemployment rate in Finland, 28,6%.

According to Etelä-Suomen Sanomat (article in Finnish) the Liipola region’s unemployment rate was more than 30 percent in the year 2010. The Ministry of the Environment published a research in 2012 which said that residents’ faith in Liipola’s future has somewhat faded.
