(ANSA) - ZAGREB - After a strong, but short recovery in the summer, due to seasonal employment in tourism, unemployment in Croatia has began to grow again, and in November reached 19.1 % of the whole labour force, according to data released today by Croatia's Employment Office (HZZ). 312 000 Croats were jobless last month, 2% more than the previous month.

Youth unemployment is among the highest in Europe, at 42% in the age group 16-25. Graduated people searching for a job account for 13% of all unemployed people. (ANSA).
