The *only* variables on the file referenced by "f" are:

             variables:
                integer geometry ( num_features, geometry )
                integer segments ( num_segments, segments )
                double x ( num_points )
                double y ( num_points ) ¡±

The error mesage

tells you exactly what is wrong. You are trying to access a variable
"UNEMPLOY" and it is not on the file referenced by "f".
