UN paints bleak picture of global unemployment trend

Unemployment is still rising even though six years have passed since the start of the global financial crisis, dpa cited the International Labour Organization as saying Tuesday in Geneva.
Some 201 million people were jobless around the world last year, and the number would increase by 3 million this year and by a further 8 million in the following four years, the UN labour body predicted.
'This means the jobs crisis is far from over so there is no place for complacency,' ILO Director-General Guy Ryder said, adding that more than 61 million jobs had been lost since 2008.
