Both figures are well above the general average of unemployed people nationwide, which was 8.2% last month, and seem to confirm the popular saying that “Uruguay “It’s a country of old people.”
For its part, in the age group of 30 to 34 years the rate of unemployment drops abruptly to 6.5% (less than half of the predecessor group). Likewise, this is 4.2% among people between 35 and 44 years old; 3.9% among those aged 45 to 54; 3.6% for those aged 55 to 64; and finally 4.5% for those over 65 years of age.
