    "methodNote": "Unemployment rate (ages 15-74, both sexes, all education levels) per NUTS 2 region (roughly region-equivalent), Eurostat's own lfst_r_lfu3rt dataset, 2025 — the newest year available, unlike this map's other layers: unemployment's only coverage gap (the UK, plus three small perennially-unreported regions) opened in 2020 and hasn't widened since, so there's no recency/coverage tradeoff to weigh here. Boundaries: github.com/eurostat/Nuts2json, 2021 typology. A handful of regions with genuinely extreme unemployment (Spain's Ceuta and Melilla, both above 24%) sit far enough above the rest of Europe's distribution that the map's colour scale saturates them at its darkest step rather than let two outliers compress everyone else's real variation — their exact figures still show on click.",

    "coverageNote": "The UK's NUTS 2 regions (58 of them) had real unemployment figures through 2019 and none since — Eurostat's own data, not a join failure here, and consistent with the end of the UK's post-Brexit transition period. Three small regions (Trier in Germany, Montenegro, and Lubuskie in Poland) stopped reporting the same year for unrelated reasons. Albania has NO NUTS 2 code in this dataset's geo dimension at all — absent entirely, not merely empty."
