Unemployment Rate shows the number of unemployed persons in percentage of the working-age population. The calculation is performed monthly. The unemployed are defined as persons from 15 to 74 years of age not currently employed; currently available for work; actively looking for work.

The indicator growth can have a negative effect on the euro quotes.
