Second: while results showed for finding out the strong relation between the rate of the two variables in unemployment among the males and females a weak relationship between the two rates of unemployment for the males and females, that is the rate of unemployment among the males increases with the increase of the females unemployment rate, but this increase is not large enough to cover the whole country’s governorates in the survey of employment and unemployment in 2004.
