Unemployment in Germany rose for the first time in June 2009

According to the Federal Bureau of Statistics of Germany, seasonally adjusted number of unemployed increased by 6 000 in January. At the same time, economists predicted increase in the rate of 17 000. Recall that in December the number of unemployed in Germany decreased by 3 000.

Unemployment, taking into account seasonal factors was 8.2% in January compared with 8.1% a month earlier. Index value corresponds to analysts. It is worth noting that this is the first increase in unemployment over the past seven months, which is associated with slow economic recovery and strong January frosts.
