This article provides an assessment of the influence of urbanization and agglomeration factors on the level and interregional differentiation of unemployment using spatial autoregressive models. The spatial localization of unemployment has been measured and the excessive differentiation of regions and economic areas has been revealed. Modeling of spatial effects of unemployment in regions of Russia has made it possible to conclude that urbanization and regional localization significantly influence unemployment.
