THE number of people registered as unemployed in Germany is lower than it has been since December 1991, as recovery in Europe's biggest economy continues, data showed on Tuesday.
The seasonally-adjusted jobless total fell by 6,000 to 2.786 million, the Federal Labour Office calculated. The drop was smaller than expected, as analysts had been pencilling in a decline of around 10,000.
