The regional directorate of the Federal Employment Agency in the southwest has announced that the labor market data for August on Friday, September 9th, at 9:55 a.m. Experts expect the number of unemployed to increase again compared to the previous month. In July, 269,193 people were registered nationwide in search of a job, which corresponds to an unemployment rate of 4.2 percent.

expectations and forecasts
