Unemployment in the eurozone hit a record high at the end of last year, the Eurostat agency has said.
The jobless rate in the 17 countries that use the single currency was 10.4% in December, unchanged from November's figure which was revised up from 10.3%.
Some 16.5 million people were out of work in the eurozone in December, up 751,000 on the year before.
The highest unemployment rate remains in Spain (22.9%), while the lowest is in Austria (4.1%).
Unemployment has been rising throughout 2011, as the debt crisis in the region has continued. In December 2010, the unemployment rate in the euro area was 10%.
23% unemployment is horrifying, but it sounds like a good time to be seeking employment in Austria.

My dear Euro-trash,
You are in for very very hard times. It has nothing to do with anything other than you've never really unified except in the one area that requires intense unification, and that is currency. The one person in government who has made any sense at all is the Slovakian president, so I'm sure he will not be re-elected. His speeches are worth listening to so of course everyone will ignore him.
Your one glimmer of hope is that the EU, specifically Germany, is China's largest trading partner but you know the old joke, what happens when two mercantilists enter the trading floor together.
In any event thanks for the ride on the EURO. Your Swiss brethren are ten paces ahead of the lot of you. I do wish you well though, a great chunk of my family is still living there.
Love,
Your American multiculturalism-trash.

We actually had nothing to do with that, we only prolonged the war a few years for our own benefit.

Fair question. I'm sure the numbers are counted differently. Regardless of the US numbers though, this is bad news for Europe, eh? I'm hoping you have better luck than we have recently had.

This idiocy never ceases to amaze me.
In the US you have one formal language, English.
In China it's Mandarin.
Europe has no such uniformity when it comes to language or culture, and by and large no desire to transform into something that is like the US either. USA =/= EU and never will be.
When will yanks figure this out.

This is unhappy news. THe truth is the western democracies have too many social programs and not enough tax revenue to pay for them. Something will need to be done.

This. I would bet the EU numbers are closer to reality than the USA's numbers.

When will you figure out that unless you become more unified like the U.S. what you're trying to do won't work?
Study the causes of the American Civil war.
Also, the United States has no official language.

The US Underemployment rate sits at about 23%, which when it comes down to it is just as bad. So we're kind of living in a glass house in this thread and whatnot.
