Summary

  • 111.1 was the EU-27 employment index based on persons for 2025 in Eurostat’s refreshed annual dataset, up from 110.5 in 2024.
  • 109.2 was the 2025 index based on hours worked, barely above 109.1 a year earlier, pointing to slower growth in labor input than in headcount.
  • Eurostat updated the national-accounts series on employment by main industry on June 5 at 11:00 a.m. CEST, covering annual data for the 27-member bloc.
  • Using 2015 as the base year of 100, the revised figures show EU employment levels remained above pre-update benchmarks and continued to rise modestly into 2025.
