The share of the workforce that 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 13.7 percent in 2025, while for the Eurozone it was 14.4 percent. Labor demand spiked in 2021 and 2022, as economies across Europe reopened following the COVID-19-related shutdown in 2020.Â
