Germania - Numărul şomerilor se menţine în septembrie peste pragul de trei milioane - Economica.net

Germany's unemployment rate remained stable at 6.4% in September, despite a weak labor market. The Federal Employment Agency reported a rise of 12,000 unemployed individuals, totaling 3.01 million, exceeding analysts' expectations. Traditionally, September sees improvements in employment, but this year started weakly. Economic growth in the first half of 2026 was better than anticipated, leading to improved forecasts. Analysts expect labor market stabilization, though structural trends may persist, particularly in the automotive sector. Inflation also rose in five major states due to high energy prices, with expectations of a 3.2% inflation rate for September. Job vacancies reached 660,000, up by 30,000 from last year.
