Forecast

6.2%

6.3%

The Unemployment Rate measures the percentage of the total work force that is not working, yet actively seeking employment. The data tends to have a muted impact as there are several earlier indicators related to labour conditions in the euro zone.

A reading that is higher than forecast is generally negative (bearish) for the EUR, while a lower than forecast reading is generally supportive (bullish) for the EUR.
