   The largest employers in Greenland are the various levels of   
   administration, including the central Kingdom Government in Denmark, the   
   Local Greenland Self-Rule Government, and the municipalities. Most of   
   these positions are in the capital Nuuk.[20] Forty-three percent of   
   Greenlanders work for the government, compared to 15% in the United States.
