Seyfettin Gürsel, Gökçe Uysal and Ayşenur Acar
Seasonally adjusted labor market data shows that non-agricultural unemployment rate increased from 11.8 percent in the period of May 2013 to 11.9 percent in the period of June 2013. Strong increase in non-agricultural labor force and slight increase in non-agricultural employment are behind the increase in the unemployment rate. Non-agricultural employment increased only by 2 thousand from May 2013 to June 2013. We observe a slowdown in employment in all sectors. In this period, employment in construction and service sector increased by 15 thousand and 16 thousand respectively, while employment in manufacturing decreased by 29 thousand.
