Brussels – Unemployment in the euro area rose in May<\/strong>. Compared to April, the jobless index rose by 0.1 per cent to 6.3 per cent<\/strong>. In releasing the data, Eurostat explained that the figure translates to 10.8 million men and women out of work, 54,000 more. The Eurozone figures confirm a general and generalised trend that also concerns the EU as a whole: the EU-27 saw an increase of 48 thousand people out of work in June.<\/p>\n

 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Of the major eurozone economies, France recorded a reduction in unemployment in absolute terms in May (-23,000), Spain experienced a less marked but still positive slowdown in the national labour market (-5,000 compared to April), Germany recorded a slight increase (+2,000), while Italy saw an increase of 112,000 in the national jobless population<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

A figure, the latter, which does not seem to reward the Meloni government, but which confirms a cyclical trend of continuous fluctuations. Compared to May 2024, and therefore to a year ago, Italy has 15,000 more unemployed<\/strong>, indicating a labour market that is incapable of attracting and permanently absorbing workers.\n<\/p>\n

\n
The employment situation does not look good for young people under 25 either. According to the European Statistical Institute<\/a>, by May 2025, there were approximately 2.9 million unemployed young people. Of these, approximately 2.3 million are under 25 and unemployed, seeking paid work in the eurozone.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The numbers are on the rise (+13 thousand), as witnessed by the youth unemployment rate, which in May rose to 14.4 per cent in the euro area (compared to 14,3 per cent in April), while in the EU as a whole it reached 14.8 per cent (compared to 14.7 per cent in April).
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Yet again, the Italian figure stands out for its upward trend: youth unemployment in Italy increases from 19.9 per cent to 21.6 per cent, resulting in a total of 303,000 under-25s dependent on their parents.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
