Finland’s non-seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for people aged 15-74 also rose to its highest level this century — now standing at 12.7 percent, compared to 10.5 percent a year ago.

This is a 20 percent increase on the same month last year and represents the highest number of unemployed people registered in a single month in Finland so far this century.
