Rise in unemployed

The number of unemployed in the Balearics rose by 217, 1.4 per cent, people last month. The total number of jobless was 15'272 at the end of July, 4.65 per cent of the active population. The Balearics was one of just seven autonomous communities which saw the number of jobless rise - the national figure fell by just under one per cent. Rising unemployment during the peak of summer is another sign that the tourist industry is not going well.
