Unemployment for Sudan and South Sudan!
It looks like the unemployment rate has steadily increase in recent years. In 1990 the unemployment rate was 14.2% and in 2008 Sudan's unemployment rate was reported to be at 20.7%.
The CIA fact book tells me that Sudan's unemployment was 18.7% in 2002 and that's the most recent post they have. This ranked Sudan 162 on a world-wide scale. The above information I retrieved from an independent paper written by a Samia Satti Osman Mohamed Nour.

Another very recent source states that Sudan's unemployment will drop from 13.4% in 2011 to 12.2% in 2012. So, it looks like the unemployment for Sudan is steadily declining now, which is great.

This article (click here) explains many of the negative effects of decreased job opportunities and increased unemployment in Sudanese regions. One interesting point is that men are not marrying women because they do not have jobs and means to support woman and a family.
I'm having trouble finding any actual unemployment rates for South Sudan because it is such a new country (seceded from the North in July of 2011). However, here is a great article about the changes that are to be expected from the the birth of this new country. It also explains that there are many college graduates in Southern Sudan with no fields of work opened to them. It also explains that Uganda and Kenya are going to be key players in the future success and growth of South Sudan's birthing economy.

Countries need to strive for low unemployment rates, because the lower the unemployment rate is, the more of the country's resources they are using. The more potential resources that they use, the more efficient they will become.
Sudan needs to figure out how to employ more people because they just lost 500,000 barrels per day of oil since South Sudan seceded in July, 2011. Protests and civil unrest will continue to occur until Sudan's government and economics takes care of this situation.
South Sudan needs to build more infrastructure so that they can expand their economy and thus employ more local people. They have a lot of natural resources now and their government is independent. South Sudan just needs to build up their assets and infrastructure There is not much infrastructure because of 20 years of recent civil war.
