Deutschland Arbeitslosenquote

The seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate in Germany increased to 6.1% in October 2024, the highest since February 2021, compared to 6% in the previous four months, and in line with expectations. The number of unemployed individuals rose by 27K to 2.856 million, the highest level since September 2020, and more than forecasts of a 15K rise. "The autumn upturn in the labour market has largely failed to materialise this year", labour office head Andrea Nahles said.
