I’m surprised that tourism-dependent Italy saw a decrease in unemployment in 2020 while Nordic countries (especially Finland) saw an increase.
What’s going on in Sweden?
Just a side remark for those who are saying there is a visible division of the old and new states in Germany in all these data maps: this is a good example for the many statistics where you can’t see such a division.
How tf we in Serbia have less unemployment
Surely 2020 stats are largely meaningless as they’re just a temporary snapshot where some countries were in lockdown and others not? In Ireland our economy has been doing really well with near full employment yet looking at this you’d think the opposite
Greece is doing great!
This is a very stupid visualization of this data.
as always, when we get posts like this.
unemployments isnt the whole picture and every country defines unemployment differently.
looking blindly at unemployment is shortsighted and doesnt say much in reality.
what we should do is look at the issues at hand, specifically and discuss solutions to the issue.
for one, Sweden has a major issue now with unbalanced worker markets.
skilled labour (IT, engineering etc) are in ultra high demand while lesser skilled labour is being shafted with low pay and high demands.
its a extreme top heavy worker market at the moment.
What is my boy Spain doing?
South-west Romania literally the only eastern European blue area
Germany is alright
Greece is surprisingly well.
Western France is doing alright.
I wonder what Ukraine’s unemployment is today.
Finland is red wow
Spain💀💀
Good. Believe it or not, but we actually need higher unemployment.

eurostats just collects the numbers.
[Looking at NEET in the eu gives another picture.](https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Statistics_on_young_people_neither_in_employment_nor_in_education_or_training)
[Same with employment rate (in Swedish)](https://www.ekonomifakta.se/Fakta/Arbetsmarknad/Sysselsattning/Sysselsattningsandel-i-olika-lander/)
