As is the case in the rest of the country, the unemployment rate in the City of Marseille increases in proportion to the decrease in the level of education. Thus, in 2020, nearly a third of Marseille's residents with no qualifications, and nearly a quarter of those who possessed only a primary school certificate, were unemployed, compared to 8.1 percent of those with five or more years of education after graduating from high school, and 15.9 percent of the city's general population.
By comparison, the unemployment rate stood at 8.41 percent in France in 2019.
