Unemployment at its lowest level in 10 years in Malta
Local
The number of people which registered for work last May was less than half what it was in the same month in 2021, marking the lowest in a decade.
According to official figures by the National Statistics Office, 961 people were officially looking for a job n May. This is compared to 2,001 in the same month in 2021.Unemployment has reportedly decreased across all age groups for both men and women, with the former accounting for 7.1% of those registering.
This comes despite employer organisations calling out a labour shortage as they urge the government to ease paperwork associated with foreign worker engagement.
