Jobless increase

Unemployment rose by 1,248 to 7,266 in the 12-month period to last May.

The National Statistics Office said the number of men registering for work rose by 943 and that for women by 305.

Most of the unemployed, 40.6 per cent, were 45 years old and over. Those aged 20 and over increased by 13.3 per cent.

Men mostly sought elementary duties and trades while women preferred clerical or service-oriented jobs.
