According to last data, Finland ended November 2025 with 10.6% unemployment, while Spain ended up with 10.5%. Welcome to the top of the table. I think spain will surpass Finland soon again but for the moment, you can enjoy success.

  1. Why do you think Spain will surpass Finland again soon in unemployment? The Spanish economy has a really decent 3% growth rate while Finland is stagnating at best. I think Finland gets to keep this crown for a while, torille!

    Remember that there are more people in work than a year before. Only 20.000 more, but still. We have lost one of our three biggest export markets totally, and both Sweden and Germany are stagnating. The unemployment rises because of very high migration to Finland. 300.000 new migrants within few years.

    The employment rate in Finland is 77%, when in Norway it is 80% and in Sweden 82%. 

  4. What solutions are there to this?

    And no ‘blame the immigrants’ won’t get us very far. 

  5. these posts are getting utterly annoying. elections are next year. go out and vote. :))))

    Can’t be true. Orpo said already last spring that things are improving. Right? Right??

  7. It’s quite simple honestly, Finland has done poorly for decades because of not focusing on actual productive work, resource management,  energy production,education etc. to support it. We need actual goods and services that can be exported. This used to be obvious to everyone some decades ago but these days there’s a lot of talk about “postindustrial, service based society” and other nonsense. As if delivering pizzas and adult daycare would magically develop the economy. 

    Another side of the same coin is people whining about not spending a ton of money so people could waste it on (often foreign) stuff and services. Or how more money needs to be spent on e.g. education instead of fixing and prioritising. The more money is spent the better seems to be the mindset.

    It’s not as if this happened overnight, even before Nokia the markings were on the wall. Nokia was both blessing and a curse for Finland…

    It’s 9.7%, not 10.6%. Learn to read, trend isn’t the actual rate dummy..

  9. That’s why everyone is so happy surely? 

    Don’t have to work! 
    Onneksi olkoon 💪💪💪

    Spain has a lot of unregistered jobs due to tax evasion purpose, which Finland barely does. I think Finland is on top for a long time now 😀
