The authorities have said 21 people were killed in protests in recent days.
Union and health officials suggest that 50 died in the town of Kasserine alone. Fresh protests broke out late on Tuesday in the capital, Tunis.
The protests over unemployment are widely seen as being fuelled by political frustrations. It is the most serious unrest in Tunisia for decades.
On Monday, the government ordered all schools and universities to be indefinitely closed following the demonstrations.
