  "account": "Finland's unemployment rate has plummeted to the lowest in the EU since the beginning of the year, remaining above 10 percent. There were 289,000 jobless individuals in Finland last month, with a significant rise in the number of women seeking employment. Despite the gloomy outlook, there are signs of a potential economic rebound and job market improvement. The number of job vacancies advertised by employers has increased for the first time in over four years on a quarterly basis. Finnish economists suggest a recovery may be imminent. The employment ministry predicts a long-term improvement in the joblessness situation, with a return to robust growth expected in 2027 and 2028. After years of unemployment concerns, there may finally be light at the end of Finland's unemployment tunnel for jobseekers.",
  "summary": "Although the unemployment rate remains stubbornly above 10 percent, open vacancies are increasing and employment levels are stabilising.",
