Greece only reports quarterly (thus no new info) and the UK is not part of the EU...
AND, unless you don't know how many countries and states there are, this isn't all of them. Quit being so lazy and click through on the links (I source everything) at the bottom of the page if you want more details.
I'm sorry to ruin the party for you guys put Eurostat data is more akin to the States' U-6, not the U-3 that was used to plot this chart. Eurostat reports broad unemployment, which also means discouraged people just like the U-6. I'm not saying things are terribly better here in the EU, but it would be nice if you used comparable data which was calculated the using the same methods.
Wheres the UK..?

Without them the chart is fairly worthless
These levels of unemployment have all the makings of a global V shaped recovery indeed.
ReplyDeletehow about a graph comparing GDPs?
ReplyDeleteCute, but literate and able to surf the Internet.
ReplyDeleteAs mentioned, the Greek figure is unavailable (reports quarterly) and the UK figure takes all of two seconds to Google...
Suck it.
Looing at the source data - greece would come in between EY27 and New York and the UK between Bulgaria and Arkansas
