GERMANY'S unemployment rate fell to a record low as the number of people out of work slid for a sixth month, reflecting a boom in Europe's largest economy that could push up wages and inflation.
The jobless rate was 5.5 per cent in December, and the previous month's rate was revised down to the same level, the Federal Labor Agency in Nuremberg said on Wednesday. The number of unemployed plunged by 29,000 last month, more than twice as much as the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of economists.
