Abstract
The effects of the covid-19 crisis on registered unemployment have almost subsided. Excluding annual seasonal effects, the registered unemployment rate fell slightly in April '23.
The Czech unemployment rate thus remains the lowest in the EU27. The gender gap in the unemployment rate has increased markedly over the past year and remains stable.
Occupational, educational and age differences persist. The predicted cooling of the labour market due to the economic downturn has not yet materialised.
