The labor ministry does not publish an unemployment rate, but national statistics office Ine put the rate at 20.18% in the third quarter. “The trend is very good,” Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy told Cope radio. “What we need to do now is to persevere.” In December alone, the number of jobless fell by 55,790, mostly thanks to temporary services jobs created during the festive season.
