In the same period last year, the unemployment rate was 7.7 percent.
The jobless number dropped to 401,700 in April-June from 409,700 in March-May. The number of employed totalled 3.797 million, down from 3.868 million a year earlier, KSH said.
The jobless rate fluctuated between 7.5-7.8 percent for much 2008, but started to rise sharply in the fourth quarter, hitting its peak of 9.9 percent in February-April on the back of the financial and economic crisis.
