Denmark's jobless rate rose to the highest level in seven-and-a-half years in May, figures from Statistics Denmark showed on Tuesday.

The latest unemployment rate was the highest level since December 2012.

The gross unemployment rose to 159,400 in May from 153,100 in the preceding month. The increase was mainly driven by the shutdown of factories in mid-March amid coronavirus pandemic.
