Slovenia Unemployment Rate
Slovenia's unemployment rate held steady at 4.5% in August 2025, unchanged from the 4.5% rate in July 2025. Projections anticipate a stable unemployment rate due to continued moderate economic growth, supported by domestic demand and exports. Employment is expected to rise, driven by foreign worker inflows which also contributes to the stable unemployment outlook.
