In a recent survey by NSO the results showed us that in June 2024 , the unemployment rate was 3.1%, slightly lower than in May but up from a year ago. There were 9,865 unemployed people, with most being between 25 and 74 years old (7,508).The number of unemployed youths (ages 15 to 24) was 2,357.
The unemployment rate for men was 3.6%, same as May, while the rate for women was 2.4%, a 0.1 percentage point decrease from the previous month.
While the unemployment rate for people aged 25 to 74 decreased to 2.6%, that of youth increased to 8.4%. Overall, these data indicate little variations in unemployment rates between genders and between age groups.
