Showing 10 of 115 tenures.

Sorted by total, highest first. Every row is indexed to the last quarter complete before the first day in office ("from" marks a start that had to move because that period had no data, or because the period cut it); the European Union is measured over the same months. Levels are per cent changes, rates are differences in pp; "per year" compounds levels and divides rates. Tenures with under 12 months, or under three observations, are left out. % of the population aged 20–64 · Eurostat (lfsi_emp_q), seasonally adjusted · country data · as of Sep 2026.
