Unemployment in Greece is very questionable. There is lot of undocumented labour ("black labour" as it is called in Greece) and a lot of people who are students and only do part-time jobs which are as well considered unemployed. This happens for lots of reasons, such as taxation, corruption, bureaucracy but the values only seem to perpetuate the stereotype that Greeks are "just lazy".

Unemployment rates are weird in the United States too. Right now, we have high unemployment AND a huge labor shortage. Government unemployment benefits are so high right now that, in some cases, people can make more money being unemployed than working.

I would really like to see this graph updated to see the affects of COVID-19 on unemployment.
