Greek unemployment


The Latest Employment Stats From Greece Are Terrifying



26 April, 2012

Ekathimerini has the latest unemployment stats for Greece, and, as you might have guessed, they're not good.

Here's the basics:

Seasonally adjusted unemployment in January stands at a record 21.8%.
That's a 3.1% rise from December.

And a 46.6% rise from January 2011.

Unemployment for 15-24 year olds has broken 50.8%.

Yep, that last figure even beats the reigning kings of youth unemployment, Spain.

With figures like this, perhaps we're not surprised the situation seems to have entered a new, violent stage.
