Japan's jobless rate fell to 4.3%
Japan's unemployment rate unexpectedly fell by 0.1% to 4.3% in June, beating economists' expectations, who estimated the rate to remain unchanged at 4.4%. This is an optimistic sign for the Japanese economy, which is struggling with the Yen's strengthening 6 % against the US Dollar since March and curbing export demand due to the Eurozone debt crisis.
