According to Portugal Statistics, unemployment last month fell to 11.2 percent, which is the lowest the figure has been since August 2009.
The drop of almost one percent in relation to June 2015 was immediately used by the government, who argued these numbers prove that economic recovery is well underway in Portugal.
