Unemployment went up by 24,000 in April, reaching a total of 489,000, according to figures from the Dutch statistics office CBS. The figure means that 6.2 percent of the Netherlands’ workforce is currently out of a job.
The increase in unemployment for April was relatively sharp: the average monthly increase over the last quarter was just 7,000. Both men and women were represented in April’s rise in the jobless figures.
