Unemployment continues to record a significant rise, which in February surpassed all previous records. The registered unemployed amounted to 37.874 compared to 29.806 in February 2011 and 23.949 in the same month of 2010… 

The construction and retail sectors are still in the eye of the storm.

Unemployment in these two sectors increased by 769 in one month. The sad thing is that more than 3100 people have been out of work for more than a year, while within three years the state was forced to pay € 261 million in unemployment benefits and another € 78 million in compensation due to surplus.
