The unemployment rate in Germany has reached 5% in December, the lowest since reunification, closing a year marked by a successful refugee arrival to the German labour market, according to government figures published today.
According to corrected data following seasonal changes, the number of unemployed has dropped by 14,000 in a month, according to the Job Agency figures.
According to gross data, which is less representative in essence but serves as reference to public debate, the number of unemployed increased by 23,000 in a month to drop by 175 000 in one year.
“into a million refugees who came in especially since 2015, 400,000 of them are developing training or starting a job”, German Enterprise Federation President Ingo Kramer had announced in December.
Because of a lack of labour force, especially highlighted in certain sectors as caring for older persons, the leaders of German enterprises did not seek an opener immigration policy.
