6 March 2001, 15:52 Germany's Jagoda sees 'significant' upswing in labour market in March
NUREMBERG, Germany (AFX) - Labour Office president Bernhard Jagoda
said he expects a "significant" upswing on the labour market this
month.
"If everything goes normally, I'll be able to announce a fall below
the 4 mln barrier" in the total jobless figure, Jagoda said.
The increase in unemployment in January and February is no reason
to revise the outlook for 2001, he said.
The Labour Office has said it expects the average number of jobless
to be 3.60-3.65 mln this year.
