The registered unemployment rate went down
The registered unemployment rate in Slovenia decreased by 0.1 of a percentage point in February 2012, thus it reached 12.4% by the end of the month. The slight decrease in the unemployment rate was mostly due to the increase in the number of women in employment, while at the same time the number of registered unemployed women went down. The unemployment rate was 12.8% for women and 12.1% for men. Among all of the registered unemployed persons the share of men still remained higher; it was 53.5%.
