The North registered an increase in unemployment in the third quarter both in relation to the previous three months (+0.5 percentage points) and in comparison with the same period last year (+0.1 percentage points), according to data from the National Statistics Institute. The unemployment rate was 6.2%, above the national average of 5.5%.
This double increase in unemployment did not occur in any other region, although, in the case of the annual evolution, the variation was very slight. In terms of quarterly variation, only Centro (+0.8%) and Alentejo (+0.6%) had a greater percentage increase.
