Bahrain registered unemployment stood at 3.1 per cent by the end of the third quarter (compared with 3.6 per cent in September 2014). Unemployment has dropped from 3.3 per cent to 3.1 per cent from June to September as a result of the substantial decrease in the number of jobless, on the one hand, and the steady increase in hiring, on the other.
