Five regions for the nationality of unauthorized immigrants are used in this report. They come from two different data sources: (1) labor force surveys and (2) asylum seeker data for those with pending decisions. A single asterisk (*) indicates a country or territory that appears in the country list of regions coded in labor force surveys, but not in the country list of asylum seekers with a pending decision. On the other hand, a double asterisk (**) indicates a country or territory appears in the country list of asylum seekers with a pending decision but was not part of the country list for regions coded in labor force surveys. Â (Note that some countries in the pending asylum seeker list had no asylum seekers in any EU-EFTA country between 2014 and 2017. Also, asylum seekers with unknown or no nationality (stateless) were considered to have an unknown nationality.)
