Denmark’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate stayed at 2.7% in July 2026 for the sixth consecutive month, its highest level since September 2021. The number of unemployed people rose by 0.1 thousand to 82.1 thousand full-time workers, while rates were unchanged for men, women and all age groups. Unemployment-benefit recipients increased to 78.4 thousand, while cash-assistance recipients fell to 15.2 thousand. The reading extends a period of unemployment below 3% and reflects a resilient but tight labor market, supported by Denmark’s flexicurity model, although employers continue to report difficulties filling skilled roles in sectors including healthcare and information technology.
