Short-term trends. Unemployment. Unemployment in the European Union. 1995.12

Abstract

Eurostat estimates that the seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate in the European Union (fifteen Member States) for the month of October 1995 was 1 0.6%, which represents the same level as in each of the last three months. While the overall unemployment rate for the Union remains stationary both for men (at 9.3%) and for women (12.4%), differing trends may be detected among the Member States. The tendency appears to be upward in Germany, France, Belgium, Ireland _and Sweden, while remaining downward in the United Kingdom, Denmark and Spain..
