EU Regions: Unemployment Gap

Compare unemployment rates across major EU NUTS2 regions, revealing the stark divide between capital regions and periphery.

The European Union's single market has not eliminated regional inequality. Capital regions like Île-de-France, Wien, and Comunidad de Madrid enjoy near-full employment, while southern Italian and Greek regions face unemployment above 15%. This comparison uses Eurostat NUTS2 data to map the EU's regional labor market divide.
