Employment in Portugal is close to values of 2014 – Jornal de Negócios – Portugal

The percentage of people without a job who have found employment in Portugal, in the second quarter of 2016, amounted to 22.4%, a decline of almost three percentage points compared to 2015 in which the indicator amounted to 25%. In the same period of 2014, were 20% of the Portuguese who found jobs in the same period recorded by Eurostat.


Portugal is more or less in the middle of the table of the countries in which the entity examined. Greece continues to have values below 10%, with 8.6% of employment found in the second quarter of this year.


Analyzing the data, the Eurostat concludes that there are four movements to occur in Europe, in the area of employment: countries with unemployment low and a transition high in the sense of finding a job (such as Denmark, Estonia and Sweden), countries with a high rate of unemployment but which are rhythms with high employability (Cyprus, Croatia and Portugal), regions in which the transition is low and unemployment high (Greece, Spain, Italy) and countries with unemployment low and low employability (Romania, Bulgaria, Ireland).


In the countries analyzed by Eurostat, 19% of europeans who have found employment in the third quarter, or 1 in 5 europeans unemployed, according to the calculations of the entity.


“Of all the people in the EU were unemployed in the first quarter of 2016, 63,2% (12.6 million people) remained without employment in the second quarter of 2016, while the 19.5% (3.9 million) were employed and 17.3% (3.5 million) went to economic inactivity,” said the Eurostat.
