In June, according to the National Institute of Statistics, there were over 727 000 people out of employment, with ages between 15 and 74 years.
By gender, the unemployment rate for men outbalances that for women with about 1.2 percent (the figures being 8.1 percent for men and 6.9 for women).
As for the grown-ups (25-74 years), the unemployment rate was estimated to about 5.9 percent in June, 2011 (6.5 percent for men and 5.3 percent for women).
The number of jobless people aged between 25 and 74 years is about 72.1 percent out of the International Employment Office aggregate number of unemployed people as estimated in June, 2011.
