According to Eurostat data, employment stagnated in the past two years with regard to EU averages. On the other hand, in the Euro-zone the employment rate among those aged 15-64 years decreased by 0.5 percent which was the result -- to a large extent -- of inauspicious trends in the peripheral countries. In Hungary, this indicator improved from 55.8 percent in Q4 2010 by 2 percentage points to 57.8 percent in the corresponding period of 2012. Therefore, along with the Baltic states and Malta, Hungary belongs to those countries within the European Union where employment growth was the largest in the past two years.
