Unemployment in Germany for August rose but just below earlier predictions, according to the Federal Labor Office on Aug. 31.

The German government said that the number of people out of work increased by 28,000 in August, bringing total unemployment numbers up to 2.497 million, as the Central European nation is dealing with critical energy shortages and high inflation.
