The unemployment rate for persons aged 15 years and above in urban areas dipped to 7.6 per cent during April-June 2022 from 12.6 per cent a year ago, the National Statistical Office (NSO) said on Wednesday.

Joblessness or unemployment rate is defined as the percentage of unemployed persons among the labour force.

Joblessness was high in April-June 2021 mainly due to the staggering impact of Covid-related restrictions in the country.
