Greece’s unemployment rate climbed to 8.5% in February 2026, up from 7.9% in January 2026, according to the latest data updated on 1 April 2026. The increase marks a reversal from the previous month’s lower reading and suggests renewed pressure in the country’s labor market.

The move from 7.9% to 8.5% indicates that more people were without work in February, halting the prior improvement seen at the start of the year. While no breakdown by sector or demographic has been provided, the headline figure underscores that job creation momentum weakened during the period.

Investors and policymakers will be watching upcoming releases closely to assess whether February’s uptick represents a temporary setback or the beginning of a more persistent trend in Greece’s employment situation.
