      Is there any obvious reason for this. Why have Sweden and Finland fallen behind the other Nordics and Germany?

      Every time I see the new numbers come in, I open them in in cold sweat expecting Finland to be on top.

      It surprised me how Sweden’s rate is almost double compared to Belgium and Italy.

      Swedes will claim that the data is wrong and that it’s not possible to measure it like that because in Sweden blah blah.

      Finland has always been a peaceful and prosperous place (for the last 30 years).
      What happened?
       Has the spirit of Sisu disappeared?

      I wonder how it’s measured.

      In Poland it’s only people without work, actively looking for work (meaning, they need to register and then visit a proper agency every month).

      I was without a job and technically not-unemployed (I didn’t register) for almost a year.

      Holy hell Czechia and Poland at 2.6% – 2.7%.

      That’s outright labor shortage territory.

      We need some countries with vowels as starting letter come on, how are we going to get a xenophonic acronym now

      To be fair Greece and Spain do make some sense. Hear me out:

      During summer holidays there’s a lot of apartment owners who rent during the summer so technically they don’t have a job.

      For Sweden the unemployment rate of native Swedes (~5%) is way lower than that of the foreign born residents (13%-16%). For Finland however, the picture looks worse as they have a much smaller foreign born population than Sweden pulling the unemployment rate up.

      Hmmm. I would want to see this without the seasonally adjusting data. Germany Sweden and Finland have been processed differently.

      Why so negative? We have a lot of uncovered potential. From physics perspective we’re at a peak and are going to convert that potential energy into kinetic. Any day now.

      Are these numbers even measured with the same methodology? Different countries have different ways to count unemployment.

      Look at the numbers of employment and their relative size to the demographics. That gives a much better picture.

      Lithuanians – unemployed, also Lithuanians – we have shortage of workers, let’s import.

      That’s some weird EU numbers. According to Czech Statistical Office, it was 4.4% in FEB2025. For Czechia.

      ”Statistical concepts and definitions

      The definitions of employment and unemployment, as well as other survey characteristics follow the definitions and recommendations of the International Labour Organisation. The definition of unemployment is further precised in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2019/2240.

      The relevant definitions are as follows:

      Unemployed persons are all persons 15 to 74 years of age who were not employed during the reference week, had actively sought work during the past four weeks and were ready to begin working immediately or two weeks. Figures show the number of persons unemployed in thousands.

      The duration of unemployment is defined as the duration of a search for a job or as the length of the period since the last job was held (if this period is shorter than the duration of search for a job).

      Employed persons are all persons who worked at least one hour for pay or profit during the reference week or were temporarily absent from such work. This variable is needed for the calculation of the unemployment rate, the long term unemployment rate and the very long term unemployment rate (see definition below). For the unemployment rate, only persons from 15 to 74 years of age are used.

      The unemployment rate is the number of people unemployed as a percentage of the labour force. The labour force is the total number of people employed and unemployed. In the database, unemployment rates can be downloaded by choosing the unit „PC_ACT“, Percentage of Active Population.

      The active population (labour force) is defined as the sum of employed and unemployed persons.”

      Romania only at 5.6? Man , surprising.
      They could do better , and make it to top 3

      Note that „unemployment“ numbers are largely useless and irrelevant, as they exclude adult people who that country happens to define as „outside the workforce“.

    27. Illustrious_Land699 on

      The rate in Italy is actually even much lower given the 2-3 million people who work without a regular contract, the problem remains the salaries that do not grow

      I was worried for a second they took our place until reading the last part of the title. Impressive they surpassed Greece, our legit competitor. Still amazes me they surpassed Portugal and Romania, though.

      I feel Spain complains the most yet contributes the least in the EU.

      Protesting tourism which is a big part of their GDP
