BRUSSELS—Eurozone economic growth was slightly less robust in the second quarter than forecast but still strong, and employment rose again, revised data from the European statistics office showed on Aug. 17.

Gross domestic product (GDP) in the 19 countries using the euro rose 0.6 percent quarter-on-quarter in April-June for a 3.9 percent year-on-year rise, Eurostat said. The office had previously estimated quarterly growth at 0.7 percent and the year-on-year rise at 4.0 percent.
