    1. Surprising how high the unemployment rate in northern Europe is. But anyway, very good news for the southern countries. 🙂

    2. Are those South countries generating some much workplace? GDP growth?

      Or it is just demographical changes?

    3. Funny how we didn’t come up with a lovely xenophobic acronym for them, huh?

      2026 and still with the xenophobia and European separatism; congratulations

    5. As a greek, ‚PIGS‘ is accurate.

      Also, yeah the rates met but the difference is that it’s on the lowest end for pigs and a the highest end for snifd. So the comparison is somewhat ingenuine.

      That is some awesome work, yet hard but damn well done Southern Europe!

      Sure, unemployment rates have converged, but there’s still huge disparity in labour force participation so *employment* rates are still not similar, except for Portugal.

      Employment rate – Q3 2025:

      Italy – 67.5%

      Spain – 72.3%

      Greece – 70.9%

      Denmark – 80.0%

      Sweden – 81.9%

      Norway – 79.4%

      Iceland – 87.2%

      Portugal and Italy doing most of the work here, and Sweden and Finland in reverse for the nordics

      Want some austerity measures? You could try them, they are wonderful. Looks like you are lazy

      I’m interested in the „bullshit jobs“ rate. Maybe we’re measuring this with a wrong approach.
