Unemployment initially increased from 10% in 1980 to 12 % in 2000, but finally decreased to 8% by the year 2000.
Getting employment was at 40% in the year 1980. From there it rose steadily with a 10 % increase in 1990 to 50% and had an additional 5% growth by the year 2000 at 55% making it the highest option which was chosen by ex-students of secondary school.
