The average monthly number of employees was 4,537,000. Partly as a result of the pandemic, partly due to seasonal effects, the number of employees decreased by 97 thousand compared to the previous month and by 55 thousand compared to January last year – the Central Statistical Office (KSH) announced on Friday.

The employment rate of those aged 15-64 was 71.1 percent, which was 1.5 percentage points lower than in December and 0.7 percentage points lower than in January last year. (MTI)
