France's seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate fell to 10.1 pct in June from 10.2 pct in May, the Labour Ministry said. The number of registered unemployed who are "immediately available" for work fell 35,200 to reach 2.449 mln on a seasonally-adjusted basis. This category excludes those on the unemployment register who undertake part-time or temporary work for more than 78 hours per month. Including such registrants, the number of jobless fell 1.1 pct. The ministry also issued figures for the number of unemployed based on International Labour Organisation definitions. These gave a seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate of 10.1 pct.
