#22Strange choice of color scheme
What is strange about it?

#23The unemployment rate in Republic of Macedonia is like that for almost three decades. More than 25%.

#24Meh blog post. Here's the interactive chart at Eurostat: http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/cache/RCI/#?vis=nuts2.labourmar...
Curious how they are using colourisation in the opposite way. They have the low levels of unemployment as orange with the darker shades as the lowest and use blue for higher levels of unemployment, again the darker shades to indicate the highest employment. So the concerning area's show as blue and the ok area's show as panic inducing Orange instinctively. Most odd.
I think you’ve got that back to front!

> it makes regions with total different population densities appear on the same level It shows unemployment RATES, so population density does not matter.
It does matter. Consider of a hypothetical country consisting of two equally large regions. One region is desert, only 10,000 people live there and unemployment rate is 20%. In the other region there are 1M people and the employment rate is 3%. Now if you look at the map, it seems that the country is doing pretty poorly. Half of the country has a bad employment rate. Whereas in reality it only affect a small portion…
Does that apply to the european regions listed here? How significant are the differences in population density that they make a tangible difference?

#26> where the unemployment rate is below 5.8%, a level generally considered to indicate a healthy labor market 5.8% is a the cut-off for a healthy labour market, apparently. Meanwhile https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/london-s-unemployment... describes London's unemployment rate reaching 5.8% as a record low!
The two things aren’t mutually exclusive, and in any case you’re probably not comparing figures that are calculated in the same way.

#29I wonder how many plausible alternative captions we can come up with for this map? A few takes: * Corruption level (blue is less) * Income per capita (blue is more) * Education level (blue is better) * Price of a beer (blue is more) * etc
Just overlay a map of median temperatures and you'll have some interesting insight.

Education?. Really?.
"Regarding Europe’s other large countries, the proportions were 47.1% for Britain, 31.9% in Germany (which retains a strong tradition of technical education), 43.6% in France, 40.1% in Spain and 39.1% in Poland."
