Why not word it the other way around? Would fit better.

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

Now show the south Italy
grafknives on
Are those South countries generating some much workplace? GDP growth?
Or it is just demographical changes?

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

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.

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

The pigs at The Economist still call PIGS Portugal Italy Greece and Spain …

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

This is because of luteran culture and work ethics. Obviously.

The Nordics don’t have the Catholic work ethic, and that’s why they’re falling behind.
fianthewolf on
Well, that seems strange to me, Spain and Greece are around 11% and I don’t think Ireland, Portugal and Italy can compensate for it because if that were the case, those three would really be the ones who would have been notified.

Those abbreviations lol snifd pigs

Can anyone add unemployment rate for V4? (Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary)
CarefullEugene on
