The total number of unemployed in Turkey stood at 2 million 747 thousand people at the end of March 2014, corresponding to an unemployment rate of 9.7 per cent, according to data released on Monday by the Turkish Statistical Institute.
However, the unemployment rate, disregarding the seasonal employment rate has increased by 0.1 percent to 9.1 percent when compared to figures from last year.
The unemployment rate has been announced as 9.1percent for the male population and 11 percent for the female population. The non-agricultural unemployment rate was estimated to be around 11.6 percent.
While 16.7 percent of the population between 15 and 24 years were unemployed, the rate was around ten percent for the 15-64 year old age group.
Experts presume that the unemployment rate will fall even further in the second half of 2014 and throughout the whole of 2015 thanks to employment intensive investments.
