Unemployment has been falling throughout much of the eurozone, bringing the average to 11.3% in March 2015 down from 11.7% in March 2014.
While the highest levels in the eurozone remain in Greece (25.7%) and Spain (23%), Portugal nevertheless suffers the fourth highest rate in the region.

Young people continue under a heavy cloud of uncertainty for their futures.

They are part of the 3.215 million youth in the eurozone who did not have jobs.
