Employment Level shows the number of employed people in the European Union. The employed is qualified as a person aged above 15, who performed any paid job for at least one hour during the reported week.

A change in the employment level directly affects household incomes and, accordingly, purchasing power of the population. Therefore, higher indicator readings are seen as positive for the euro quotes.
