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

Abstract

At the end of May 1982 there were 10.2 million registered unemployed in the European Community of Nine, corresponding to an unemployment rate of 9.2% of the civilian working population. A reduction of 1.6% occurred in the total of registered unemployed in the Communityof Nine in May 1982, which was less than is usual at this time of year, indicating a further worsening of the position. The seasonally adjusted figure of unemployment has gone above 10;8 million, an increase of + 1.6% during the month. The rise in the seasonally adjusted figures of unemployment was observed in all the Community countries but was particularly marked in the F.R. of Germany.
