Jobless Rate Falls 0.1 Percentage Point In Nov

TOKYO (NQN)--Japan's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for November fell 0.1 percentage point from October to 4.1%, the Internal Affairs Ministry reported Friday.

The jobless rate fell slightly because the number of women who are working in the medical, welfare and service industries has risen.

But the government said that some people have stopped trying to find jobs because the employment market remains stagnant.
