German unemployment increased and the jobless rate remained unchanged in October, data from the Federal Employment Agency showed Wednesday.
The number of unemployed increased by a seasonally adjusted 6,000 after falling 9,000 in September. Economists had forecast a monthly rise of 3,000.
The jobless rate held steady at 5 percent in October, which was in line with expectations and near a record low.
The current economic weakness is leaving its marks on the job market, said Federal Employment Agency Head Detlef Scheele. But all in all, it remains robust, Scheele added.
