Hiring rate, EU27, 2011–2025 (% of population)

Notes: The hiring rate counts people who have been in their job for less than 12 months as a share of all people in the age group, regardless of whether they are in the labour force. In 2025, out of a total population of 72.8 million people aged 15 to 29, 11.6 million were in a job that they started within the previous 12 months. Workers whose start date in a job is not recorded are counted only in the population but not among recent hires, so hiring rates are slightly understated. Breaks in series occurred in 2014 and 2021.
