00:00The EU's employment rate has reached a historic high.

00:08Nearly 76% of EU citizens aged 20 to 64 are currently employed.

00:15That's just over two points shy of the 78% target set by the EU for 2030.

00:22In reality, almost half of EU regions and territories have already passed the 78% target.

00:29Most of these high-performing clusters are in Northern Europe.

00:33Aside from countries with fewer than 2 million people,

00:36the highest concentrations were reported in the Netherlands, Sweden, Ireland, Denmark and the Czech Republic.

00:43All their regions have reached or passed the 78% mark.

00:48Germany also ranks highly, with only three of its 38 regions still below target,

00:55namely Berlin, Bremen and Düsseldorf.

00:58Looking at individual regions, the largest employment proportion was found in the archipelago of Holland in Finland.

01:06Poland's capital region of Warsaw is second, followed by two additional central European capital regions,

01:13Bratislava and Budapest.

01:15At the opposite end, and excluding overseas territories like non-metropolitan France

01:20or the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla,

01:24Italy holds seven of the ten EU regions with the worst reported employment rates.
