Why are Spain and Finland in such a bad shape when it comes to employment rate?
Bar50cal on
4% is the target everyone aims for and is considered full employment. There will always be ~4% of people out of work for a variety of reasons be it illness, moving jobs etc.
Below 4% is bad as it means you are approaching or are already at a point where employers cannot find employees to hire and so will move business outside the country or not grow in the country. The economy stagnates.
Above 4% is too few jobs for everyone and means more people out of work on benefit or struggling and the economy will likely shrink if it gets too high.

Finally Spain has someone to share the spotlight with.
Irony on, just in case.

Germany currently has an unemployment rate of over 6%. These numbers aren’t correct.

It’s great having low unemployment figures and all but how many of those people are one pay cheque away from bankruptcy? How many are still living with their parents trying to save for a mortgage because they can’t afford to rent a small apartment?

Umm 4-5% is really high. >8% is economic collapse.

I no longer trust Eurostat, the way data is provided and its sources seem really strange. In 2024, Germany had an unemployment rate of 6% (around 2.7 million), and in 2025, the numbers increased. Additionally, apart from unemployment, Germany has at least 5.5 million people receiving social assistance. So where to see 3% or 4% here? I really don’t understand why it’s necessary to deceive like this.
The unemployment rate is 6% (2.7 million), with an additional 5.5 million, leading to approximately 8 million unemployed, minus 1.5 million who are unable to work.
