Czech jobless rate drops to 8.2 pct
May unemployment statistics met expectations and showed positive developments but remain high in the long-term comparison
Raymond Johnston | 08.06.2011 - 13:39
The unemployment rate was 8.2 percent at the end of May 2011, according to the Czech Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs (MPSV). This was a drop from the same period in 2010, when the rate was 8.7 percent and from the previous month, when it was 8.6 percent.
“May’s unemployment data did not surprise when its rate dropped in line with the consensus. …. All 77 labor offices recorded a month-on-month decrease,” Komerční banka analyst Miroslav Frayer said in a market comment.
Job offices registered 489,956 job seekers at the end of May, some 23,886 fewer than at the end of April and 24,823 fewer year-on-year. The number of available job seekers currently available for work was 467,774.
“It is positive that the decrease was not solely due to favorable seasonal factors, but that also the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate decreased. During the past five months, it dropped 1.2 percentage points, according to our estimates, and more than offset the deterioration from the second half of last year,” Frayer said.
