    Finnland überholt Spanien bei der Arbeitslosigkeit im November 2025


    Letzten Daten zufolge endete Finnland im November 2025 mit einer Arbeitslosenquote von 10,6 %, während Spanien bei 10,5 % endete. Willkommen an der Spitze der Tabelle. Ich denke, Spanien wird Finnland bald wieder überholen, aber im Moment kann man sich über den Erfolg freuen.

      Why do you think Spain will surpass Finland again soon in unemployment? The Spanish economy has a really decent 3% growth rate while Finland is stagnating at best. I think Finland gets to keep this crown for a while, torille!

      Remember that there are more people in work than a year before. Only 20.000 more, but still. We have lost one of our three biggest export markets totally, and both Sweden and Germany are stagnating. The unemployment rises because of very high migration to Finland. 300.000 new migrants within few years.

      The employment rate in Finland is 77%, when in Norway it is 80% and in Sweden 82%.

      What solutions are there to this?

      And no ‚blame the immigrants‘ won’t get us very far.

      Can’t be true. Orpo said already last spring that things are improving. Right? Right??

      It’s quite simple honestly, Finland has done poorly for decades because of not focusing on actual productive work, resource management,  energy production,education etc. to support it. We need actual goods and services that can be exported. This used to be obvious to everyone some decades ago but these days there’s a lot of talk about „postindustrial, service based society“ and other nonsense. As if delivering pizzas and adult daycare would magically develop the economy. 

      Another side of the same coin is people whining about not spending a ton of money so people could waste it on (often foreign) stuff and services. Or how more money needs to be spent on e.g. education instead of fixing and prioritising. The more money is spent the better seems to be the mindset.

      It’s not as if this happened overnight, even before Nokia the markings were on the wall. Nokia was both blessing and a curse for Finland…

      It’s 9.7%, not 10.6%. Learn to read, trend isn’t the actual rate dummy..

      Gracias to the Spanish for graciously allowing us to gracefully shine for a while.

      Onneksi olkoon 💪💪💪

      Spain has a lot of unregistered jobs due to tax evasion purpose, which Finland barely does. I think Finland is on top for a long time now 😀

      Nobody should be surprised. The math and macroeconomics are pretty simple here. GDP consists of consumption, investment, government expenditures and net exports. Consumption and investment are down mainly to interest rates, which are far too high for us. Exports are struggling due to issues in some of our largest export markets (China, Russia, Germany, Sweden, UK etc). And while all of this is going on and we have a severe lack of demand the government decides to impose austerity during a downturn.

      I mean, it’s the fourth time in 35 years. When will the Finnish people learn that you can’t cut yourself our of an economic crisis?

      I am British, I visited Finland for the first time just recently in Helsinki in December for a week. This is all a little off topic, but some of it is related to employment I guess.

      Things that I noticed or am aware of: Finland is even more obsessed with shopping centres and retail parks than the UK. Lots of L.E.D signs everywhere but they are all related to services, Tech and Finance companies.

      I didn’t see much fast food that wasn’t part of a chain, so it must be more difficult to setup a basic take out business than the UK. Finn’s will accept really crappy buffet food. People are more likely to be really left wing or really right wing. Cannabis is more controlled and less popular as I didn’t smell it once.

      Some industrial jobs appear to exist at Fazer chocolate factory or in the Icebreaker industry which is partly foreign owned. Tram systems being built/extended in Vantaa but probably by foreign companies?. Valmet automotive has let alot of people go recently and I don’t think it’s making many vehicles if any. I guess the weapons industry is doing well, and probably the strongest industry?.

      I was surprised at how big the Russian embassy was, for a country that it is supposedly so anti Russian. I now realise the situation is more complicated than that. And that actually Finland and Russia have also had good relations over the year, and people would frequently travel between Finland and Russia, even in the Soviet era.

      It’s still a better place to live than the UK, but not as superior as I was hoping/believed before I visited.

      I’m pretty sure that Finland did this much earlier since Spain has a huge black labor market…
