The unemployment rate in Turkey fell to 10.3% last June from 10.9% in May, according to data from the Turkish Statistical Institute today, Wednesday, August 10.

Data on Wednesday showed that the Turkish unemployment rate fell 0.3% in June compared to the same month last year.

Turkey is currently suffering from a significant rise in annual inflation, which recorded 79.6% during July.

And last March, Turkey extended the ban on laying off employees for two months, starting from March 17, under a presidential decree.
The ban was imposed last year to limit the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on employment and the economy in general.
