Why it matters

Euro-area unemployment gauges labour-market slack — an input to the ECB’s reaction function, to fiscal pressure and to the political backdrop for industrial and social policy.

What to watch

• The rate versus consensus and the prior month, and youth unemployment.
• Divergence between member states that can strain EU-level policy.
• Signals for wage momentum and the ECB’s read on labour-market tightness.
