Summary
11.130 million people were unemployed in the euro area in June, with the headline jobless rate unchanged at 6.3% from May and from a year earlier.
71,000 more people were out of work than in May, and 43,000 more than in June 2025, showing the stable rate reflected labor-force dynamics rather than fewer unemployed workers.
14.8% was the euro area's youth unemployment rate, edging down from 14.9% in May, while the rate for men rose to 6.2% from 6.1% and women's held at 6.4%.
6.0% was the EU-wide unemployment rate in June, also unchanged, though the number of unemployed across the bloc increased by 79,000 from May to 13.317 million.
