According to the data, the unemployment rate in cities and towns remained at 5,5 percent in the first quarter of the year. The unemployment rate rose to 6,1 percent in April due to the negative effects of the epidemic. After the epidemic was brought under control, the unemployment rate decreased to 5,9 percent in May.
