Data from the Labour Force Sample Survey in households show record-breaking values of the employment rate in the second quarter of 2015. The general unemployment rate further declined (year-on-year). Data of the statistical office show a significant increase in the number of registered employees. The purchasing power of earnings has been increasing, though the average wage increase has been falling behind the economic development.
