Greece’s unemployment rate eased to 7.4% in August 2026, down from 7.9% in July, according to data updated on 30 September 2026. The latest reading highlights a continued improvement in the country’s labor market during the peak summer period.
The August figure suggests that seasonal hiring and sustained economic activity are helping to absorb more workers, further reducing joblessness from the previous month. While no additional details were provided on sector performance or labor force participation, the headline decline in the unemployment rate reinforces the trend of gradual labor market strengthening in Greece over the summer of 2026.
