Unemployment rate in Norway has fallen to 2.6% in June, figures from Norwegian Labor and Welfare Administration shows. 71,500 people were registered as fully unemployed in June 2017, TNP reported. It is 9,500 fewer than in the same period of the previous year, according to NAV. “The positive trend we have seen in the labor market so far this year continued in June. With increased growth in the Norwegian economy, more vacancies and fewer notice of termination, we also expect unemployment to continue dropping further,” Sigrun Vageng, Minister for Employment and Welfare, said in a press release.
