It’s been tough:

Austerity left a lasting legacy in the form of low employment rates, brain drain, capital and capital destruction (…). Reforms (…) contained the liberalisation of wage bargaining, transition from sector-level to firm-level collective agreements; easing dismissals, (…) extending the use of fixed-term contracts, reducing overtime premia, extending part-time shift work (or partial lay-off). (…) During much of the crisis, (…) long-term unemployed represented about 70% of all unemployed, and less than 20% of all unemployed were receiving an unemployment allowance, (…) excluding long-term unemployed, self-employed and the young. (…) Far-reaching privatisations were implemented towards the end of the programs, for debt reduction and attracting foreign investment, including plots of land, airports, ports, and utility companies. source
