DOI: 10.1080/0042098992584 © 1999 Urban Studies Journal Limited Urban Unemployment in the EU, Tertiary-sector Employment Growth and Urban SizeCentre for Spatial and Real Estate Economics, Faculty of Urban and Regional Studies, University of Reading, Reading, RG6 6AW, UK, G.RCrampton{at}reading.ac.uk. The paper uses REGIO data to study recent change in unemployment in major urban areas of Europe. Previous results suggested a significant role for tertiarisation in employment, and a systematic association with urban size. This work is carried forward using more recent data on urban areas at NUTS 3 level. Patterns in variation of unemployment across countries and city sizes are discussed. Econometric estimates going beyond OLS are discussed using LIMDEP software.
