Compared to February 2023, a decrease of 2,293 registered unemployed was recorded, from 14,304 to 11,687, attributed mainly to the sectors of financial and insurance activities, trade, construction, accommodation and food service activities, as well as to the decrease recorded for newcomers in the labour market, CyStat said in a press release.
