No change in eurozone jobless amid recovery fears

The numbers out of work in the eurozone have not changed in the past month, continuing fears of a jobs-free recovery.

Ireland’s drop in unemployment was the third highest in the EU, but at 12% is still the eighth among the 28 countries.

Employment Commissioner László Andor said that governments must do more to support job creation and fight social exclusion through active labour policies and greater social investment, including the Youth guarantee.
