(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. A positive sign,
however, is represented by the fact that unemployment has fallen
on an annual basis, since in November 2013 the unemployed people
were 340,000, that is 21%.
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).
