Unemployment could peak at 11.5% in 2010
Unemployment could peak at 11% at the end of 2009 and possibly at 11.5% in the first months of 2010, analysts interviewed by MTI said, commenting on the latest unemployment figures on Thursday.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development said unemployment may have peaked in the OECD area in May 2010, but that nations in the region will have to create about 17 million news jobs to return employment levels back to where they were before the financial crisis.
