The chart above shows the unemployment rate in each EU and US region as of July 2021 (unless otherwise noted - see caveats below), the change from the previous month, and the rate one year prior.  All eight regions saw a drop in the unemployment rate over the previous month.

The chart above shows the unemployment rate in each EU region as of July 2021 (unless otherwise noted - see caveats below), the change from the previous month, and the rate one year prior.  All four regions saw a drop in their rate over the previous year.

The chart above shows the unemployment rate in each EU and US state as of July 2021 (unless otherwise noted - see caveats below), the change from the previous month, and the rate one year prior.  Czechia, Nebraska, New Hampshire, South Dakota, and Utah are the only states with a rate below three percent.

The chart above shows the unemployment rate in each EU state as of July 2021 (unless otherwise noted - see caveats below), the change from the previous month, and the rate one year prior.  One state has an unemployment rate below three percent.

The chart above shows the ten-year interest rate in each EU state as of July 2021, the change from the previous month, and the rate one year prior.  Nine states have a negative interest rate (up from 4 last month and down from 12 last year).

The one-month and three-month rates fell, the one-year rate stayed the same, while all other rates rose in August.  The yield curve widened from the previous month thus ending its narrowing streak of four months.  The one-month bill maintained the lowest rate throughout the month but it shared the lowest rate on multiple occasions.  There were no moves upwards on short-term rates thus decreasing the risk of an inversion brought upon by rising short-term rates.  Such an inversion, if it were to happen would be a strong indicator for an upcoming recession.

The chart above shows the annualized nominal gross domestic product (GDP) in each EU and US region as of the first quarter of 2021 in millions of US dollars, the change from five years ago, and the GDP ten years prior.  The Southern EU is the only region to witness a decline in GDP over the ten year period.
