Guernsey unemployment continues to fall

The number of people left unemployed in Guernsey has fallen for a ninth consecutive month despite a shortage of workers in the hospitality sector.

This is the first time since the pandemic started that unemployment levels have dropped below pre-pandemic levels at the comparative time of year.
