80% is basically full employment. So everybody who want to work, have a job. As in the working force – people from 16 to pension, there is always a significant group, usually about 30%, that does not work for some reason, no matter of job opportunities. Example for that were housewives in the past. Many students too. Some people get significant passive income. Some cannot work due disabilities. And some simply do not want to work.
honestly i think the statistics are embarassing. In US they are at 4% unemployment for labor force.. what do you mean we have countries like Finland with 10% unemployment/ labor force. It’s really bad

Romania is weirdly low. I imagine that having a few million people abroad (many of them not registered as having left by the Ro authorities) might play a part.

In Italy there is a large number of people that work irregularly without a contract. It’s better than a few years ago, but still pretty common

The problem is not having a job, the problem is in countries like portugal that have more than 60% of the working force receiving the minimum wage or their wage being paid by social securities via protocols. For example here in portugal you may take a bachelors degree in like history and your only available job is working at the supermarket as a cashier (most cases in Portugal) or a non relatable area job. Just because you are working does not mean that your country is an example to follow.

It’s worth noting that Eurostat defines [anyone who worked just one hour in a week](https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=EU_labour_force_survey_-_methodology) as being employed.
