“Jobless numbers across the 17-nation eurozone hit a record 18 million in July, the EU statistics agency said Friday. An additional 88,000 people joined the ranks of the unemployed throughout July, although upwardly-revised June data meant that the unemployment rate was unchanged at 11.3 percent, with Eurostat confirming that the 18,002,000 headline figure was the highest since records began in 1995.”
