Unemployment falls sharply
The number of people out of work in the Netherlands accounted for just 5% of the working population over the past three months, the national statistics office CBS said on Thursday. A year ago, 6.1% of the working population were officially unemployed. Inflation, by contrast, rose slightly to 1.4% in January, the CBS said.
