The Hellenic Statistical Authority, in a monthly report, said the small decline in the unemployment

rate in December, compared with November was attributed to a decline in the unemployment rate among young people aged 15-24 to 55.5 pct in December, from 57.1 pct in November thanks to a five-month employment program and seasonal employment because of the Christmas holiday period.

The number of unemployed people grew 3.7 pct in December, compared with the same month in 2012, but fell by 0.8 pct compared with November. The number of employed people totaled 3,555,034, down 2.7 pct compared with December 2012 and down 0.2 pct from November.
