Unemployment rate down

The level of registered jobless dropped below 11 percent to 10.88 percent, the Minister of Labor Ludovit Kanik said. Compared to July this year, the drop represents 0.15 percentage points. There are some 150,000 Slovak nationals currently legally employed abroad, according to the European Action Citizens Service estimates. That roughly equals the figure by which the number of unemployed registered at Slovak labour offices has fallen in the past few years.
