Unemployment fell to 3.9 percent in March due to seasonal factors

Unemployment in Czechia has returned to below four percent after two months, falling to 3.9 percent in March, according to data released by the national Office of Labour on Tuesday.

Office head Daniel Krištof said the drop was caused mainly by warm weather, which saw earlier start of seasonal work, such as construction.

At the end of last month, 288,623 people in the country were out of work. The number of job vacancies rose slightly to 268,660.

The jobless rate in Czechia in March last year was 3.7 percent.
