NOTE. The number of available jobless shows how many people
registered as unemployed by labour offices are able to start
work shortly.
The country's jobless rate hit a previous record low of 9.12
percent in November.
The Slovak jobless rate has fallen steadily from around 20
percent four years ago after the former centre-right government
cracked down on abuses of the welfare system.
The rising number of foreign direct investment projects has
also helped create new jobs and cut unemployment.
