ISTANBUL, April 10 (Reuters) - Turkey's unemployment
rate rose 0.2 percentage points month-on-month to 10.0% in
February, while a seasonally adjusted measure of labour
under-utilisation rose 1.5 percentage points to 23.4%, data
showed on Monday.
The labour under-utilisation measure had slid after peaking
at 29.6% in January 2021 due to the economic fallout from
pandemic measures. It has started picking up again in recent
months.
The Turkish Statistical Institute data showed the labour
force participation rate in February fell 0.5 percentage points
to 53.6%.
