318,000 Israelis rejoined workforce since virus rules eased

The Employment Service says 318,262 Israelis have returned to work since the government eased lockdown restrictions last month.

It says 5,059 have returned to work in the past 24 hours, while 964 have been laid off.

The service does not provide updated countrywide unemployment rates, which topped 1 million at the height of the pandemic in April.
