7/31/2012 4:04 AM ET

Unemployment in Germany increased in July as expected, data from the Federal Labor Agency showed Tuesday.

The number of unemployed rose by 7,000 in July from a month earlier. This was in line with economists' forecast and followed a similar increase in the previous month.

The jobless rate was at 6.8 percent, unchanged from the past few months. This also matched expectations.
