Unemployment remained at 3.8 percent in September

Unemployment in the Czech Republic remained at 3.8 percent in September, Minister of Labour and Social Affairs Jana Maláčová announced at a press conference on Friday.

Compared to the same month last year, the number of unemployed people dropped by around 2,000. The country’s labour offices registered over 277,000 job seekers last month.

Ms Maláčová said the Czech job market was in a good condition thanks to the Antivirus scheme supporting businesses hit by the coronavirus crisis, which was launched in mid-March.
