Jobless rate in Cyprus eases by nearly 1,000 over the year

The number of registered unemployed persons in Cyprus stood at 9,153 at the end of June 2025, data from the Cyprus Statistical Service (Cystat) showed on Thursday.

On a seasonally adjusted basis, unemployment rose slightly to 9,833 in June from 9,780 in May.

Nevertheless, unemployment dropped by 959 people, or 9.5 per cent, compared with June 2024.

Cystat said the year-on-year decline was mainly driven by lower jobless numbers in education, financial and insurance activities, construction and manufacturing.
