Seyfettin Gürsel, Gökçe Uysal ve Ayşenur Acar
Seasonally adjusted labor market data shows that the unemployment rate is still stagnant. Non-agricultural unemployment rate remained at 11.8 percent in the period of January 2013. Increases in manufacturing employment that has been observed for the last two periods prevented an increase in the unemployment rate. It seems that the increase in services has stopped. The increase in manufacturing production index pertaining to February 2013 and the application per vacancy of Kariyer.net indicate that the non-agricultural unemployment rate might slightly decrease in the period of February 2013.
