An unemployed person is defined by Eurostat, according to the guidelines of the International Labour Organization, as:
– someone aged 15 to 74 (16 to 74 years in some EU Member States);
– not employed during the reference week according to the definition of employment;
– currently available for work, i.e. available for paid employment or self-employment before the end of the 2 weeks following the reference week;
– actively seeking work, i.e. had either carried out activities in the four-week period ending with the reference week to seek paid employment or self-employment or found a job to start within a period of at most 3 months from the end of the reference week.
The unemployment rate is the number of people unemployed as a percentage of the labour force.
UK 3,8%
Norway 3,2%
United States 3,6%
inflation is kicking, but low unemployment should also bring higher wages. Ask for a raise!
Jesus what’s going on in Czech Republic and Hungary and Malta where the rate is so low?.
ESPAÑA CAMPEONA DEL MUNDO NÚMERO 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good to see that Sweden join the Mediterranean gang
Why is Swedens unemployment so high?
And why are so many young people unemployed?
Surprised to see Portugal doing much better than Spain,Italy or greece and what is up with France btw
Do all countries measure unemployment in the same way? I know here in Ireland we supposedly have full employment with the 5% being mostly long term unemployed and people incapable of working.
Italy is doing good! Few years ago if I remember correctly they had like 10/12%. Now they are almost on par with the likes of Sweden and France.
Good job!
Czechia, could you be a team payer and get in line? You’re making the rest of us look bad, mkay.

By the way, it’s a record low for the Eurozone since the creation of the currency union in 1999: https://tradingeconomics.com/euro-area/unemployment-rate
