Greece is witnessing a positive shift in its employment landscape with a marked decline in its unemployment rate to 9.0% during the third quarter of 2024. This figure highlights a noticeable improvement from the 9.8% registered in the second quarter of the same year. The updated statistics were released on December 5, 2024.
The 0.8% decrease in the unemployment rate not only exemplifies Greece's ongoing economic recovery but also reflects the effectiveness of the policies implemented to bolster job creation and workforce engagement.
