The number of unemployed people in Baden-Württemberg fell by 1.2 percent to around 265,296 in March compared to February. The unemployment rate remains at 4.2 percent, the regional directorate of the Federal Employment Agency announced in Stuttgart on Thursday. A year ago the rate was 3.8 percent. For the statistics, the Federal Agency used data material that was available up to December 13th.
Stuttgart - March.
The decline this year was only about half as high as usual in March. According to the regional directorate, the reasons for the slight spring recovery on the labor market include, among other things, the weak economy in industry, especially in the construction sector. dpa
