Unemployment statistics for Germany will no longer be made public, it was announced today. Dr. Friedrich Syrup, head of the Reich Institute for Labor Placement and Unemployment Insurance, announced the decision and added that it was no longer realistic to speak of the Jobless in German territories, since, as is widely known, the Reich lacks sufficient skilled labor, particularly in agriculture.
