Unemployment in Germany held steady at historic lows in October, official data showed Thursday, suggesting Europe's largest economy can look forward to continuing good health.

The jobless rate stood at 5.6 percent in seasonally-adjusted terms last month, the Federal Labour Agency (BA) said in a statement, the same level as in September.

In unadjusted terms, the rate fell 0.1 points to 5.4 percent - the lowest level since German reunification in 1990 - or just under 2.4 million people.

"A strong economic upturn in autumn lowered unemployment and underemployment in October more strongly than usual," BA chief Detlef Scheele said.

German company Max Bögl Wind AG has built the world’s tallest wind turbine. The turbine ‘hub’ is 178m (584ft) tall, and the tower’s total height – to the tips of the upward extended blades – is 246.5m (809ft).

For every meter increase in turbine height, annual energy output is increased 0.5-1% due to lower turbulence and higher wind speeds.

The taller the turbine, the bigger the blades, the better to kill more birds and bats ...
