Unemployment rate

share of unemployed individuals among the labor force

The percentage of people without jobs who are actively seeking employment. GUS reports registered unemployment, while Eurostat measures it through surveys (BAEL), and these two figures typically differ.

Why it matters

Low unemployment means job security and higher consumer spending, but also makes recruitment more difficult and expensive — affecting both sales campaigns and employer branding.

What's missing without it

Without this context, a recruitment campaign receives last year’s budget in a market where candidate acquisition costs have doubled.

When it is used

In employer branding campaigns, recruitment planning, and assessing purchasing power in a region.

How we use it

When discussing with an international client, it’s worth confirming which measure they mean.
