Eurostat the EU’s official statistics office said EU unemployment reached 9.3 percent in October 2009, the highest for over a decade. The figure is a rise of 0.1 percent on September the month before and compares with unemployment of 7.3 percent in October 2008.
Roughly 258,000 EU citizens lost their jobs in October 2009 alone, bringing the total number of unemployed across the EU to 22.5 million. This is nearly one in ten workers.
The unemployment rate in Britain in December was 7.9 per cent with 1.6 million unemployed. The hardest hit are young people where full time jobs are falling.
