The be 239.000 have been more than in December, but 111.000 less than a year ago. The unemployment rate rose from 6.1 percent in December 2015 to 6.7 percent in January 2016.
After Christmas sales in December and because of the winter weather, it is common that the number of unemployed at the beginning of the year increases.

What further developments on the German labour market is concerned, the experts are almost invariably optimistic. Up to the summer, the number of unemployed, seasonally adjusted, continued to decrease, you predict. Until then, we must see in Germany because of the growing number of unemployed refugees with a slight increase in unemployed expected. Economists corrected so that your in the past months, slightly more pessimistic forecasts slightly.
Having been the bright Outlook of new data of the Federal Agency for labour Demand. After that, there was the beginning of the year so many Vacancies like never before, reported the Nuremberg Federal Agency on Monday, citing your current Stellenindex BA-X. The indicator for the extent of unfilled vacancies was in January, with 211 points to a record level; these were four points more than in December 2015.

One-third of the vacancies will be of temporary employment agencies reported.
Loads are still to come
Measured in absolute Numbers, play refugees on the German labour market in comparison to the approximately 43 million employees, yet not too big of a role. Of the in November living in Germany 786.000 people from war – and Bürgerkriegsländern were 90.300 registered as unemployed in December 2014, there were 58.100. At the same time, but also had a 117.800 a Job, as the recent Zuwanderungsmonitor of the Institute for labour market and occupational research (IAB) shows.
But what now is clear: Recognized refugees, provided that you do not quickly find a Job, soon becomes a burden for the job. In the past year, the number of Hartz IV recipients from the war and Bürgerkriegsländern considerably: From September 2014 to September 2015 in order 75.600 on 266.100. So were two of five living in Germany, Afghans, Eritreer, Iraqis, Nigerians, Pakistanis, Somalis and Syrians Hartz-IV-receiver. For comparison: the EU-foreigners in Germany, it was only on every Tenth.
