TOKYO, Sept. 30 (Xinhua) -- Japan's jobless rate dropped to 2.5 percent in August, the government said in a report on Friday.

The unemployment rate edged down from 2.6 percent in July, the country's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications said.

The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare in a separate report said Friday that the job availability ratio was up 0.03 point from the previous month to stand at 1.32 in August. This equates to there being 132 job openings for every 100 people seeking employment.

According to the statistics bureau's seasonally-adjusted data, in August the total number of people out of work stood at 1.75 million, which was 10,000 less from the previous month.

Those leaving their jobs of their own volition totaled 690,000, down 8.0 percent from the previous month, the report showed.
