Unemployment in Switzerland rises slightly
Published
At the end of October, 141,015 people in Switzerland were registered as unemployed at the regional employment centres (RAV). That is 535 people, or 0.4 percent, more than in the previous month. The figure has thus risen slightly.
The RAV are offices where people register when they are looking for new work. They support the unemployed in their job search and offer counselling and courses. The unemployment rate therefore remains at a low level, even though the number of unemployed is somewhat higher than before.
The change is small. Nevertheless, it shows that the labour market in Switzerland weakened somewhat in the autumn. How the situation develops in the coming months depends, among other things, on the state of the economy.
For people who live or work in Switzerland, this development is therefore important. Anyone looking for a job can contact their responsible RAV to find out what support is available.
