 Globes : "The unemployment rate rose to 7% at the end of 2012 from 5.4% a year earlier, the Central Bureau of Statistics reported today, with the number of unemployed rising by a net 73,000 people from 174,000 at the end of 2011 to 247,000 at the end of 2012.

In early 2012, the Central Bureau of Statistics changed its methodology for measuring unemployment, to conform to OECD rules, which resulted in a jump in the unemployment rate from 5.4% to 6.5% of the civilian labor force. There were serious problems in measuring unemployment in the Arab community, where the rate doubled from 6% under the old method to 12% under the new method.

Participation in the labor force among people over 50 was 54%, mostly men, in 2012, and participation in the labor force by people aged 25-64 rose to almost 79%. 85% of men aged 25-64 and 73% of women aged 25-64 participate in the labor force. Participation in the labor force by people over 15 was 60%".
