Teachers and other school staff demonstrate against cuts in Amsterdam in March last year. Unemployment continued at record highs in the 17-nation eurozone in June but there was some hope of an improvement as the numbers of those out of work fell slightly, official data showed on Wednesday.
The overall eurozone jobless rate came in at 12.1 percent, unchanged from May, the Eurostat data agency said. The jobless numbers, however, fell by 24,000 to 19.26 million.
