Monthly Labour Market Monitor July 2010.
The labour market in the EU is stabilising and may be reaching a turning point, but it may take some time before the fragile pick-up in economic activity triggers a solid rebound in the labour market – according to the latest Monthly Labour Market Monitor from the European Commission.
Rises in the unemployment rate have eased in all Member States, and in May the rate remained unchanged or declined in a majority of EU countries. Nevertheless, the rate is still higher than a year ago in all but five Member States.
This month's edition focuses on the labour market situations in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and the UK, and on recent developments in the manufacture of basic metals sector.
