Euro Area Employment Climbs 0.2% in Q3 2025

Employment in the euro area rose 0.2 percent in the third quarter of 2025, but the increase was uneven. Croatia recorded the strongest rise at 1.6 percent, while Romania posted the sharpest drop.

⬤ The euro area recorded a 0.2 % rise in employment for the third quarter of 2025, Eurostat's latest figures show. The headline stays flat - yet a clear split divides countries that add jobs from those that shed them.

⬤ Croatia led with a 1.6 % surge. Spain, Estonia besides Bulgaria each gained more than 0.5 %. Latvia, Lithuania or Luxembourg clustered near 0.5 %. Denmark, Greece next to Malta added smaller but still positive amounts.

Workforce trends continue to diverge sharply between member states.

⬤ At the other end Belgium, Czechia, Ireland, France besides Italy posted only marginal increases. The Netherlands, Slovenia, Germany, Slovakia or Austria slipped a little. Finland dropped about 0.8 %, while Romania contracted roughly 1.4 %.
