It therefore now seems that the unemploymert rate, after falling gradually but con-.; .. ,, ... I f • • t • .. sistently in the European Union since the sp~ing of 1994, is levelling out in most Member States : only in Italy has the rate cohtinued to drop regularly over the last few months. // • , The levelling-out tendency is apparent equa,ly for men and women, and for young • . persons and those aged over 25 years
