The unemployment rate in fact it rises to 7.9% (+0.1 points on last December), and that of young people to 22.9% (+0.7 points). The number of job seekers is growing on a monthly basis (+1.7%, equal to +33 thousand units) and, on an annual basis, the number of job seekers decreases instead (-6.7%, equal to -143 thousand units).
