Unemployment up by nearly 5,000 persons in Q3 in Estonia
According to Eveli Voolens, leading analyst at Statistics Estonia, the unemployment rate was 3.8 percentage points higher than in the third quarter of 2019. Most of the unemployed persons had been unemployed for less than half a year. “34,100 unemployed persons were looking for either full-time or part-time work and 20,000 were looking for only full-time work. The number of long-term unemployed increased, and totalled 9,400,” added Voolens.
In the third quarter, there were 652,700 employed persons, of whom 574,100 worked full-time and 78,600 worked part-time. “Compared to the same time last year, the employment rate fell by 2.7 percentage points. It was highest for persons aged 25–49. While the number of part-time employed persons did not change much year on year, the number of persons employed full-time declined by 24,200,” explained Voolens. The female employment rate was 62.5% and the male employment rate 70.3%.
By economic activity, employment was highest in manufacturing, although it decreased year on year. However, in some economic activities, the number of employed persons increased: the most in construction.
