Unemployment (category A) fell 4.6% in June, but remains at a very high level, according to Pôle Emploi.

Unemployment fell 4.6% in June, or 204,700 registered in category A less. The number of job seekers had already fallen by 3.3% in May after an increase of nearly 23% in April. The drop in June is due to the return of job seekers to reduced activity (categories B and C) with the continuation of deconfinement, according to figures from Pôle Emploi published on Monday. However, this number remains at the very high level of 4.221 million after the exceptional increases due to containment. Overall, the workforce in categories A, B and C continued to increase, 0.5%, to 6.157 million, its highest level ever.
