Greece’s Unemployment Rate Now Lower Than Sweden’s, Defying Expectations
Greece’s unemployment rate fell to 8.3 percent in April 2025, a significant decrease from 10.8 percent the previous year, marking the lowest rate in 17 years. This achievement surpasses the unemployment rates of Sweden, Estonia, Finland, and Spain. The reduction is attributed to ongoing government policies aimed at boosting employment and encouraging the return of Greek expatriates. Further efforts include a “Career Day” in Stuttgart, offering over 1,000 Greek job opportunities.
