GNU parallel + gunzip (or 7z, or bsdtar, or unzip): extract every "archivename.zip" into (to-be-created) its "archivename" subfolder

As in title. I've got a lot of ZIP archives that I want to extract.
All archives have their own unique name.
All archives contain **files only** (inside archives there are **NOT** folder(s) at all: no parent / main folder).
I'd like to process all these ZIP archives via GNU parallel.
To sum up:
-
archivename(s).zip
has **NOT** folder(s) inside
- extract content of archivename(s).zip
into archivename(s)/
folder (this folder needs to be created!)
- **keep** archivename(s).zip
after extracting it
- repeat this for all the ZIP archivename(s).zip
I was wondering about what utility fits best ZIP extraction: gunzip? unzip? bsdtar? 7z?
P. S.: *I'd like to take advantage of GNU parallel for speeding up the whole operation (I'm using SATA SSD devices)*.
