The number of unemployed people in the EU dropped by 382,000 in May, boosting optimism about a rebound in the region’s labour market as manufacturers said they were hiring at the fastest rate for two decades.
The third consecutive monthly fall lowered the bloc’s unemployment rate from 7.4 to 7.3 per cent, Eurostat said on Thursday. The jobless rate has fallen from a peak of 7.7 per cent in September last year, but is still above a pre-pandemic low of 6.6 per cent.
