Monthly Bulletin. Employment. Monthly statistics of registered unemployed in the Community. October 1982.

Abstract

There were 11,5 million persons registered as unemployed in the Community of the Nine at the end of October 1982; the unemployment rate for the civilian working population rose from 10.2% at the end of September 1982 to 10.3% at the end of October. There was a further increase in the seasonally adjusted totals for unemployment, indicating that the situation in Member States worsened during October 1982.This is true even for the United Kingdom where, despite a 1.4% drop in the absolute figures, the seasonally adjusted figures indicate an increase in the numbers of unemployed.
