India, July 1 -- Joblessness in Germany rose in June but at a slower than expected pace, official figures revealed on Tuesday, as activity in the biggest economy in the euro area remains sluggish.
The seasonally adjusted number of unemployed rose by 11,000 from the previous month, the Federal Employment Agency said, which was smaller than the 15,000 increase economists had forecast. The jobless figure was 188,000 higher from the same month last year.
The increase in May was revised down to 33,000 from 34,000.
The seasonally adjusted jobless rate was steady at 6.3 percent in June, following a revision to May's original figure of 6.2 percent.
The non-adjusted unemployment total fell by 5,000 to 2.91 million in June.
