Eurozone unemployment ticked up to 6.3% in May, marginally overshooting economists’ 6.2% consensus and ending a brief run at April’s 6.2%, Eurostat data show. The jobless total for the 20-nation currency bloc came to 10.8 million, while the broader European Union held steady at 5.9%—about 13.1 million people without work. Spain remained the bloc’s weakest labour-market performer with a 10.8% unemployment rate, followed by Finland at 9.0% and Sweden at 8.7%. At the other end of the spectrum, Malta reported 2.7%, the Czech Republic 2.8% and Poland 3.3%. Country releases published alongside the Eurostat report put Italy’s unemployment at 6.5%—above both forecasts and April’s 5.9%—and Belgium at 6.5%, fractionally higher than the previous month. Greece’s statistics agency ELSTAT separately said its jobless rate fell to 7.9%.
