Portugal’s unemployment rate stood at 5.7% in July 2026, unchanged from June. The gender gap persisted, with unemployment at 6.4% for women versus a record low of 4.9% for men. The adult unemployment rate remained stable at 4.6%, while youth unemployment was 20.1%. The number of unemployed fell by 2,700 to 320,200, but employment also declined, down 9,900 to 5.67 million.

At the same time, the broader labor underutilization rate—which includes the unemployed, underemployed, and marginally attached workers—rose from 9.3% to 9.5%.
