Submitted by monitor on

Le Monde (11.01.2016) Lentement, mais sûrement, le taux de chômage européen poursuit sa décrue. En novembre 2015, il s’est établi à 10,5 % dans la zone euro, en baisse de 0,1 point sur un mois et d’un point sur un an, selon les chiffres publiés jeudi 7 janvier par Eurostat. « Il s’agit du plus bas niveau enregistré depuis octobre 2011.

Dans l’Union européenne, le taux de chômage s’est établi à 9,1 %, contre 9,2 % en octobre, retrouvant ainsi son niveau de juillet 2009.
