I spent about an hour this AM....trying to grasp the 'true' unemployment rate for Greenland.
The latest data that you can find (and trust) is from 2024 (nothing for 2025). That number is 8.7-percent (for Denmark, it's two points less). Yeah, it's fairly high and a bad sign over the economy.
However....if you dig into youth-unemployment....projections go to 25-percent.
So when politicians for Denmark/Greenland talk over the 'woes' of Greenland....roughly 2,500 to 3,500 of the population under age 25....aren't that thrilled over the commerce and job-opportunities.
Having a open-vote? If you lined up all 42,000 residents (who are 18 or over).....4,700 are in the youth category (18-25). I would imagine the bulk of the younger voters want massive change. The remaining 35,000 are probably split, with most preferring to continue 'as-is'.
