AMONG NATION'S LOWEST


Excluding the seasonal work force in tourist regions like Crete, unemployment is running at 8.5 percent in Greece, as opposed to 6.6 percent in the same period last year, according to figures released by the national statistics service ESYE.

According to the figures, nearly 500,000 people are out of work, with unemployment greater among women (11.5 percent) than men (6.3 percent).

By region, the Ionian Islands region (5.7 percent) and Crete (6 percent) have the lowest jobless rate in the country. The highest area, with 11.7 is mainland central Greece at 11.7 percent.
