The energy crisis has not increased unemployment much yet: a quick analysis of registered unemployment
Abstract
The effects of the covid-19 crisis on registered unemployment have almost subsided. Excluding annual seasonal effects, the registered unemployment rate rose slightly in December '22.
However, the Czech unemployment rate remains the lowest in the EU27. The gender gap in unemployment rates has widened noticeably over the past year.
Occupational, educational and age differences persist. The energy crisis has not yet had a significant impact on unemployment, nor on the inflow of newly unemployed.
