Unemployment in Europe remains at a record low

Unemployment in the eurozone remains historically low. In November, the unemployment rate remained at 6.5 percent, as reported by the Eurostat statistics office in Luxembourg on Monday. The rate has never been lower since the introduction of the euro.

Year-on-year, unemployment in the currency area has fallen significantly. In November 2021 it was still 7.1 percent. In 2021, the economy was burdened by the corona pandemic.

As reported by the statistical office, around 10.85 million people in the euro zone were unemployed in November 2022. That was about 846,000 fewer than a year earlier.
