The 2012 EU employment rate [1]for persons of working age (15-64) dropped slightly to 64.2 % (- 0.1 pps compared with 2011). For men, it fell to 69.8 % (-0.3 pps), while for women it rose marginally to 58.6 % (+0.1 pps) (see Table1).


The employment rate for the population aged 15-64 was higher than the EU average (64.2 %) in eleven EU Member States. The highest rates were recorded by the Netherlands (75.1 %), Sweden (73.8 %), Germany (72.8 %), Denmark (72.6 %),


Full-time employees usually worked 40.4 hours per week in 2012. In the United Kingdom and Austria, full-time employees worked the longestweekly hours (42.3 and 41.8 respectively), whereas the usual weekly hours worked by full-time employees were below 39.0 in Denmark (37.6), Ireland and Italy (both 38.7). The usual weekly hours worked by part-time employees amounted to 20.2 on average in the EU in 2012. They were highest in Romania (24.8), Sweden and Belgium (24.3), and lowest in Portugal (17.7), Germany (18.3), Denmark (18.5) and Spain (18.6) (see Table 4).

In the paragraph on foreign citizens, it's better in English to say foreign citizens then foreigners.
