Unemployment in Europe: get the figures for every country
Edited by Ellen Kalisperati
The eurozone unemployment rate has hit a record high at 11.8% with 18.8m people out of jobs according to Eurostat and youth unemployment at a new high. Get the figures for every country

The eurozone unemployment rate rose to 11.8% in November 2012 – the highest rate on record according to official figures out today.
Up from 11.7% in October, the latest figure has caused some concern in the eurozone. Graeme Wearden writes today:
Today's unemployment data rather takes the shine off recent claims that the eurozone crisis is over. The immediate threat to the single currency has receded, but politicians and policymakers still face an ailing economy. Initiatives such as a banking union or the ECB's bond-buying programme may hold the eurozone together, but they don't deliver the hope of immediate growth.
Once again the highest rate was seen in Spain at 26.6% followed by Greece at 26% (recorded for September 2012). According to Eurostat, the unemployment rate increased in 18 of the EU member states, fell in seven and remained stable in both Denmark and Hungary.
The latest figures from Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union, also show the EU27 unemployment rate stood at 10.7% in November, stable compared with the previous month.
Eurostat figures also show youth unemployment and the latest figures suggest the situation has got worse. The youth unemployment rate for November 2012 was 23.7% in the EU, up from 22.2% in November 2011.
The eurozone recorded a youth unemployment rate of 24.4%, up from 24.2% the previous month. Greece and Spain reported the highest rates at 57.6% (September 2012) and 56.5% respectively.
Germany, Austria and the Netherlands had the lowest youth unemployment rates at 8.1%, 9% and 9.7% respectively.
The latest release shows that 26.06m people in the whole European Union were unemployed in November 2012 – an increase of 154,000 people on the previous month. Compared with November 2011, unemployment has risen by 2.012m.
Despite the latest release displaying the November 2012 seasonally adjusted rates for most EU countries, there are still some gaps. The latest recorded figures for Greece are from September 2012.
Austria and Luxembourg had the lowest unemployment rates at 4.5% and 5.1% respectively. Germany (5.4%) and the Netherlands (5.6%) also recorded low rates of unemployment.
