Germania Tasso Di Disoccupazione

Germany's seasonally adjusted jobless rate remained at an over 3-year high of 6.0% in August 2024, unchanged from the previous month and in line with market expectations. The number of unemployed individuals rose by 2,000 to 2.801 million, significantly lower than the anticipated increase of 16,000. There were 699,000 job vacancies in August, down by 72,000 from a year ago, indicating weakening labour demand. On an unadjusted basis, unemployment rose by 63,000 to 2.872 million, the highest level in three-and-a-half years. "The labour market continues to feel the effects of economic stagnation," said Andrea Nahles, chairwoman of the Federal Labour Office, noting that unemployment had increased over the summer.
