The employment level – which measures the percentage of people who are working – was 56,7%, practically the same as that recorded in the same quarter of 2016.
The number of employed people was 98,6 million, which represents a drop of 1 million people compared to the quarter ended in October.
“This combined effect between the stability of the unemployed population and the reduction in the number of workers, left the unemployment rate stable”, explained Adriana Beringuy.
