Job vacancies decline in the euro area and EU in the second quarter

Correio da Manhã15 September 2026 at 11:56

Job vacancies declined in the euro area and the European Union in the second quarter, according to recent data. In the EU, the job vacancy rate fell to 2.0%, a decrease compared to the 2.1% recorded in the first quarter of the year. This drop also represents a reduction compared to the same period last year, when the rate was also at 2.1%. The decline indicates a slowdown in the demand for workers in the European bloc during the second quarter.

Why this matters

The decline in the job vacancy rate indicates a slowdown in the European labor market, which may mean greater difficulties for job seekers. This data affects workers, businesses and economic policy makers in the region.
