Spoilers:

Worst 10: Spain, Finland, Sweden, Greece, France, Estonia, Italy, Latvia, Canada, Portugal.

Best 10: Netherlands, Iceland, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, South Korea, Japan, Malta, Czech Republic, Singapore.

Order in both lists is from higher to lower rate of unemployment, i.e. worst to best.

I don’t think much of these lists I guess. I keep hearing that Germany is hosed because of inflation outstripping earnings, and lots of Germans are moving to Austria because of that.

The lists generally don’t reflect anecdotal economic conditions in those places. So I’d like to see more direct numbers about median purchasing power and stuff like that. Also for work-seekers with some mobility, exactly what kinds of openings are there in a given country and what occupations are already glutted.

this article presents the most accurate data available, sourced directly from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

What is this shit?
I found it weird that Germany was on the list of best countries with 3.4%, but it didn’t have Denmark, which I know for a fact has lower unemployment rate than Germany? Maybe Denmark is too small a country to be considered, but Iceland is there?

According to IMF which they claim as their source, Denmark is at 2.9% unemployment, so I can only conclude the article is bullshit.
