VIENNA: Austrian unemployment fell slightly in September to 6.1 percent from 6.2 percent the previous month, the labour and social affairs ministry said Monday.
Last month, a total 294,922 people were without a job, the ministry said in a statement.
Austria meanwhile maintained its position as the country with the lowest jobless rate in the 27-member bloc, at 4.5 percent according to the calculations of the EU's statistics agency Eurostat.
The difference between the figures is because Austria includes under-employed people who worked just a few hours during the given period in its unemployment calculations, unlike Eurostat.
