Lithuania's unemployment rate stood at 8.3% in early November 2015, up by 0.2 percentage points compared with a month ago and unchanged from a year ago, data from the country's Labor Exchange showed on Thursday. There were 150,100 registered unemployed persons in the country on November 1, up by 2.5% month-on-month but down 0.6% year-on-year. Some 23,400 new job-seekers were registered with labor exchange offices last month, down by 3.9% from October 2014. Employers registered 28,900 new job vacancies, up by 0.4%. "The labor market calmed down somewhat as the fall season reached its midpoint," the Labor Exchange said in a press release. Some 49.6% of the unemployed were men and 50.4% were women.
