Unemployment in Germany fell in March, according to the latest figures from the Federal Employment Agency (BA), but the number of jobless remained above 3 million. 
The positive trend, albeit a slight one, left overall unemployment in Germany at 7.1 percent, one of the lowest in the 18-nation eurozone. Compared to one month ago, some 83,000 fewer Germans were looking for work, the agency said Tuesday.
“Positive developments in the labor market continued in March,” said Frank-Jürgen Weise, head of the Federal Employment Agency. “In addition to the usual springtime boost, solid economic indicators are visible in the labor market as well.”
