News > Events > 2023 > Unemployment statistics EN REVAMP

The live stream of this online webinar took place on Thursday 9 November 2023 from 11.00 to 12.00 CET. 

Are you interested in unemployment statistics and want to learn more about the evolution of unemployment in the EU?

During this webinar, you will get valuable insight into European statistics on unemployment, which is one of the key European economic indicators. Discover how these statistics are compiled and how the figures have evolved over time. 

To give an in-depth picture of the unemployment in the EU, we present selected results on unemployment across EU countries and additional indicators, such as the labour market slack and labour market transitions. The relevance of these data and the ways in which they inform EU policy are also discussed.
