Abstract	Integration of foreign workers into European Union (EU) labor markets was evaluated. Three indicators of labor market integration were analyzed: unemployment rate, employment rate, and self- employment rate. Results were drawn from the Labor Force Survey data compiled by Eurostat. Findings indicated that, in all EU countries, the unemployment rate of non-nationals was considerably higher than (usually double) that of nationals; this situation had not improved since the early 1980s. Unemployment rates for young foreigners, in particular, had remained alarmingly high. The overall unemployment rate for non-nationals concealed marked differences among nationalities. If made visible, these statistical differences would underscore the precarious situation of certain groups. Moreover, granting citizenship did not automatically eliminate all barriers to employment. Foreign women had more difficulty finding a job than national women or foreign men; the female non-national unemployment rate was generally higher than the overall rate for non-nationals. Self-employment rates showed signs of convergence with those of nationals, but there were striking differences among countries and between EU and non-EU nations. (Five tables are appended.)
