Tokyo’s economy and unemployment

Tokyo is one of the world’s largest urban economies; the Tokyo Metropolitan Government lists it first in its GDP City ranking for 2024. Comparisons depend on whether the administrative metropolis, prefecture, or wider urban area is counted. The source fact’s 3.1% unemployment figure is outdated: Tokyo’s official 2025 annual average was 2.4%. This is a Tokyo estimate from Japan’s Labour Force Survey, not a current real-time figure.
