6 hours ago
Czech unemployment level stayed at 4.2% in June (chart), where it eased to in May by one percentage point on the 4.1% registered in April.
“The statistics confirm that unemployment is rather stagnating despite the joining of seasonal workers,” the CEO of the country’s Labour Office, Daniel Krištof, commented in a press release.
He added that “the number of available jobs companies offer continues to grow,” and that “this situation persists in the whole country as well as in individual regions.”
Overall, there were 315,465 persons registered with the Labour Office, which was 42,781 more than last year, or an increase of 0.6 pp year on year.
There were nearly 98,700 available jobs offered by companies, with the capital Prague and the neighbouring Central Bohemian regions registering the largest number of these job openings.
Ústecký region (6.5%) in the northwest and the Moravian-Silesian region (6%) in the northeast remain the two regions with the highest and second highest unemployment levels in the country.
