ISTANBUL, May 10 (Reuters) - Turkey's unemployment rate
stood at 10.0% in March, unchanged from a month earlier,
official data showed on Wednesday, while a seasonally adjusted
measure of labour under-utilisation fell 1.6 percentage points
to 21.8%.
The survey was not conducted in four provinces hit by the
earthquakes in February, the Turkish Statistical Institute
(TUIK) said, adding they account for 4.4% of the households
sampled.
The labour under-utilisation measure has slid after peaking
at 29.6% in January 2021 due to the economic fallout from
pandemic measures but had started picking up again in recent
months.
TUIK data showed the labour force participation rate in
March was unchanged from a month earlier at 53.6%.
