The Federal Statistical Office revised October’s unemployment number from 6.7% to 6.6%, 
November’s figure was also 6.6%. Both figures were adjusted for seasonal variation.
Meanwhile inflation fell to its lowest rate in nearly five years in November.
Official figures showed inflation dropped to 0.5% in November from 0.7% in October.
