Changes

Another analysis relevant to the study of how the crisis impacted the labour market is shown on the map depicting the [[:Archivo:Europa_Tasa-de-paro-en-la-Union-Europea_2020_mapa_18102_spa.jpg|'' Unemployment rates in the European Union in 2020'']]. Figures were clearly high for Spain, Greece and some Scandinavian and Baltic States. The Eastern States, Belgium, the Netherlands, Ireland and Portugal, however, had lower unemployment rates. Generally speaking, unemployment increased to a greater extent in States that previously had fragile labour markets and were therefore more exposed to the crisis. It is also worth mentioning that the relatively high data for Scandinavia could be linked to the fact that the these States tend to have better social protection schemes for the unemployed than the rest of the Union. Lastly, it should be noted that the temporary job protection measures succeeded in tempering the final figures for all EU Member States.
