Share of workforce newly employed in the European Union and Eurozone 2002-2022

The share of the workforce which is newly employed in their current job - that is, they have been in their current job for less than one year - is considered to be an indicator of labor demand from businesses. This indicator tends to follow the business cycles in the wider economy, with more employees being newly employed in times of economic upswing, while fewer people will be newly employed in downturns. In the European Union, the newly employed rate was 15.4 percent, while for the Eurozone it was 16.5 percent - a record high for the time period covered. Labor demand spiked in 2021 and 2022, as economies across Europe re-opened following the COVID-19-related shutdown in 2020.

劳动力中在当前职位上为新近雇佣，即在该职位上工作不足一年的比例，被视为企业劳动力需求的指标。该指标往往与更广泛经济中的商业周期保持一致，在经济繁荣时期，新增雇佣的员工数量增加，而在经济衰退期，新增雇佣的人数减少。在欧洲联盟，新近雇佣率为15.4%，而对于欧元区而言，这一比例为16.5%，创下了该时期的历史新高。2021年和2022年，随着欧洲各国经济在2020年因COVID-19相关停摆后重新开放，劳动力需求显著上升。
