Stable unemployment in OECD countries. The unemployment rate in May 2013 in the area remained, in fact, for the third consecutive month unchanged at 8%. However, the slight increase in the Eurozone, +0,1% to 12,2%, marks a new historic record since the beginning of the 90s, while the gap between the Eurozone and the OECD average becomes increasingly ample.
In addition to the Eurozone, the unemployment rate also grew slightly in the USA (+0,1% to 7,6%), while it decreased in Canada (-0,1% to 7,1%) and Mexico ( -0,1% to 5,1%). The Japanese figure remained stable at 4,1%.
