The divergence in reported German unemployment rates, with official figures indicating a worsening situation while the ILO measure suggests minimal change, raises questions about the accuracy and reliability of the data, especially when considering the overall number of people unemployed.
German unemployment – according to the German Federal Labor department – continues to worsen. Unemployment rate is now at 5.9% up from 5.5% at start of the year.
