According to recent reports, the unemployment rate in the country has reached 5.2%, with approximately 8.4 million people currently out of work. This marks an increase from the previous month's rate of 4.8%. Additionally, job creation has slowed down, with only 120,000 new jobs added last quarter, compared to the 200,000 jobs added in the previous quarter. Experts suggest that the current economic downturn may be attributed to various factors, including global market conditions and uncertainties. The government is considering implementing new stimulus packages to boost the economy and create more job opportunities.
