Topic: Europe unemployment rate hits record low, employment record up (Read 515 times)

What I know about the European country is that most people there are freelancers, which are not really employees; instead, most of them work online. In addition to that, in every country around the world, the average employment rate problem is also increasing.

Especially in today's time where there are wars going on in Israel, Hamas, Russia, and Ukraine, there are no employees who are able to enter their jobs in the office or financial institution properly. that despite these events, the people of the country are also a problem with their prime commodities.

This is because many can work remotely online without having their official status as an employment, the digital work are increasing and the interest for this are also increasing. If their own people don’t want to work anymore, which I think is already happening that country will be force to look for other people outside of their country who can work for them and this is why our oversees filipino worker are increasing because many countries are indeed of worker while in our country, they can’t find any job even if they are looking for it.

Maybe a signature campaign or this forum is not my only source of income at all? You know, people with jobs?
Actually, it would probably piss you off that according to the spreadsheet by not making my quota during the CM campaign I missed $6000 in earnings during those years! Imagine that!  

Might come as a surprise to you but there are some here who discuss what they want how they want without feeling the need to kiss somebody's ass or be constrained by anything else, unlike posters that have to fake interest in a sport or gambling to qualify for their quota!  


Let me get this right:
Low unemployment is bad for the EU!
Medium unemployment is bad for the EU!
High unemployment is bad for the EU!
Low employment is bad for the EU!
Medium employment is bad for the EU!
High employment is bad for the EU!
Right?


Lol, you're about 3 countries, 1500 km off, and 20 years off !


Read again!
Employment levels count only people living in the EU having a job in the EU!
Digital nomads who are not paying taxes and social/welfare contributions in the EU are excluded!

LE:

Actually, you know something, seeing people so triggered because of good things, I'm going to start one of those each day!
Cause you know, that thing we have called freedom of speech and freedom of spreading joy? Probably not something you're aware of!
Maybe I'll throw one about the 1 cent per ruble since I'm pretty sure it will hit a nerve!

Europe had been doing amazingly great for years now and that is why many people from other continents choose to visit Europe because of so many opportunities that are there and what expatriates tend to benefit in a long run. Employment is one of the things that makes a country or continent great again and we have to understand the force that drives employment rate forward. When the economy of a country is good and have a huge momentum of ascending upward, the employment rate and other factors will increase drastically within a particular period of time.

To me it is remarkable that certain nations, and groups of nations, are able to relentlessly create new jobs and keep people employed. Idle hands make the devils playthings as the saying goes, if people do not have work then they might be more inclined to commit crimes in order to get their hands on cash. We also have to be mindful that politicians are always seeking to massage the figures, so might try to cut and change how certain statistics are reported so they can claim to have done good work. Hopefully it will continue for a long time, because it shows that most of society are committed to hard work and making a brighter future for everyone in their country and I can imagine America is similar.

Very good point! I really think that falling unemployment rate is partially due to people forced to enter or return to job market which is not a great sign.

What's more interesting, is why OP is creating a boatload of similar topics glorifying and admiring the EU, although as far as I know he is Ukrainian and doesn't even live in the EU? Very weird, there has to be some explanation... perhaps signature campaign is not his only source of income here in this forum?     

Interesting viewpoint. When I read the title, I was happy because I thought finally some good news but reading your first sentence has brain me indifferent. Considering now that we have digital nomads and remote workers I can't say that I agree with your statement. What can Europe do about this? If people are not looking for employment doesn't it mean that they are doing okay? Because there is no mention that the government is providing any support funds for them help. It is a bit confusing.

If this information is correct and freelance&online marketing are also included in employement rate, isn't this actually a bit of manipulation with statistics? As a result, people who provide such services don't have an income or work flow that we can classify regularly and therefore it isn't correct to include these people in the classification of "employed" individuals. Of course, this is my opinion but when we think logically it should be like this. Yes, by doing business on the internet or marketing a product/service a person becomes his/her own boss and creates a business cycle but unfortunately it wouldn't be correct to consider this as a permanent workforce.

Let's bump this with more good news

https://www.euronews.com/2023/10/02/eurozone-unemployment-still-at-its-lowest-level-in-august-at-64


We have the lowest unemployment level in the history of the EU!

But why stop here, I mean when there is such youth unemployment in China:
https://www.cnbc.com/2023/09/03/chinas-urban-youth-unemployment-crisis.html

let's look at the bright side:
Employment of Newly Graduates in the EU Reached Record High in 2022, again another record for the EU topping by 1% the one before the crisis in 2018, and those are recent graduates, not all the youth, meaning that 82% of the ones that graduate got a job right after finishing studies, higher than the US and comparing only with recent graduates in China (till they stopped releasing data),  more than 2 times!!!!

Maybe that's one of the reasons thousands flee to Europe instead of let's say Russia? Or China?

I'm seeing freelancing and working from home as the primary reasons why the rate shot up all of a sudden. For one, it's way easier to work when you're not forced to commute for 2 hours all the while battling the elements just so you can get paid peanuts in the office. Plus if I'm not mistaken, inflation also forces people who are otherwise jobless to double up on the effort to look for one since now they can't just rely on their parents or whatever, which could also play a part in this increase in employment rates.

I'm basing all of this on common sense so if I'm wrong please correct me lol.

Is there any other continent that has a higher purchasing power than Europe? If you want to use purchasing power are a metric then you have to also look at other factors like GDP, per Capita income, etc. If you use all these Europe is still good.

In terms of wealth Distribution Europe is second to North America so no matter the metric you want to use Europe is still good all things considered.

You said the goal shouldn't be more jobs, it should be "making a living", How are people supposed to make a living if they don't have jobs?
