SEOUL (Reuters) – South Korea’s unemployment rate fell in July for a second month even as the fallout from the coronavirus pandemic worsened during the summer.
The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate declined to a one-year low of 3.3% from 3.7% in June, government data showed on Wednesday, while 542,000 jobs were added.
