EU economic statistics · Eurostat unemployment rate

Unemployment in Spain was 10.1% in June 2026, Eurostat reports

Eurostat reports a seasonally adjusted unemployment rate of 10.1% for Spain in June 2026.

Eurostat reports a seasonally adjusted unemployment rate of 10.1% for Spain in June 2026, for the total population aged 15 to 74.

That is 0.1 percentage points lower than the 10.2% Eurostat reports for May 2026. Both figures are rates expressed in percent, so the difference between them is measured in percentage points, not in percent.

The rate is the number of unemployed people as a percentage of the labour force aged 15 to 74, harmonised across countries and adjusted for seasonal variation but not for calendar effects.

This brief reports the figure Eurostat published and its comparison with the preceding month. It does not explain why the figure moved, and it does not attribute the movement to any policy, event or decision.

Revision history

12 September 2026, 02:10 UTC — We corrected our own error Our error

The wording above changed because this service corrected how it reads the source record. The window this service reads was one month too short, so the oldest month in it had no month before it to compare with. The brief reported that as Eurostat not having published the earlier figure. Eurostat had published it; this service had not asked for it. The source record itself is not known to have changed.

Limits of this brief

Harmonised, seasonally adjusted unemployment for the total population aged 15 to 74, as a percentage of the labour force. A filter that does not match the approved definition causes the record to be held rather than quietly substituted. Two geography labels are shortened so that a headline is readable — Eurostat's own label is shown on the brief itself in every case. Month-on-month differences are given in percentage points. This measures unemployment as the Labour Force Survey defines it, which is not the same as the number of people registered as unemployed.
