Unemployment unchanged at 5.8%
The official Dutch unemployment rate remained 5.8% in December, the national statistics office CBS said on Thursday.
Last year as a whole, the jobless rate was 5.4%, the same as in 2010, the CBS said.
However, the number of people registered as looking for work and the number of people claiming unemployment benefits both rose in December.
