German unemployment dipped to 6.3 per cent in May, according to labour office data released Tuesday. The month-on-month data showed that, on a seasonally adjusted basis, 6,000 fewer people were recorded as jobless, bringing the number of people out of work to 2.786 million, dpa reported. The dip to 6.3 per cent marked a downward tick of 0.2 percentage points from April. The agency attributed the uptick in people working to the end of the cold, winter months, with more hiring being conducted in building, agriculture and restaurant businesses. Non-seasonally adjusted figures for May showed a dip of 81,000 unemployed from April, for a total of 2.762 million unemployed.
