  11. Unemployment of people aged 40+:an overview

  12. ATDAL Over 40 According to the national institute of statistics in 2010 unemployed people will reach 2,173,000 (+ 15,5% on 2009) = approx. 9 % as a national average. We estimate that people aged 40 + are a half of that amount (over 1 million). A tip: People who do not actively look for work are not included in statistics as “unemployed”. If we included these 1.5 million persons, the national average of unemployment would jump to 15 % as a national average.
