Has job losses topped?
New job numbers
Today new numbers got out and it appears that the job situation is not as terrible as first expected – but still – it is no walk in the park either. In May less people lost their jobs than first expected. This development has made the european indexes go up. The German DAX rose more than 1 percent after the news.
