@catraxx @infobeautiful the International Labour Organization provides this very helpful app built in rshiny, where you can get varied labour statistics per country or country group, including "European Union (28)" and "European Union (27)"
I used this query:
https://rshiny.ilo.org/dataexplorer5/?id=UNE_2EAP_SEX_AGE_RT_A
which says 6% of the 15+ population is unemployed,
but, as you said, there is data which is only available per country
@catraxx @infobeautiful oh, I thought it meant all people who were actually working, as opposed to not working but looking for a job, and not working nor looking for a job
@catraxx @infobeautiful 220 million working people in EU alone or EU + UK? Also, is informal work included?
@infobeautiful let's do a quick verification:
Since february 2022, the EU + UK has spent ~160 billion dollars in aid to Ukraine [1]
The EU + UK has ~ 520 million people [2, 3]
160 billion$ / 36 months
= 4.44... billion$ per month
4,444 million$ per month / 520 million people
= 8.50 dollars per capita per month
So, yeah, it sounds plausible, though the coffee I drink is cheaper than that.
