French jobseeker Alexandre, 24-years-old, makes a phone call to apply for a job in Pessac near Bordeaux June 17, 2013. Alexandre, unemployed for over a year, left school at 16 with a CAP diploma in auto mechanics. In the past, he has been employed as a mechanic, worked part-time in the building industry and held other, short-term jobs. He now hopes to find a regular job in 2013, and has been making visits to the National Agency for Employment (Pole Emploi) and applying for positions in regional companies. If he cannot find work in France, he is considering trying his luck in a foreign country such as Germany. Alexandre currently lives at home with his mother, and goes to an abandoned warehouse to work out because he cannot afford a gym subscription. Picture taken June 17, 2013.

Jose Manuel Abel (R), 47, and his wife Oliva, 47, are seen at home before having dinner in Munich October 12, 2013. In 2012, former salesman Jose Manuel Abel left his family behind in Spain and moved to Germany in search of work, arriving in Munich with just 250 euros in his pocket. A year on, Abel has found a permanent job in a fruit and vegetable warehouse and hopes that his family will be able to join him in Munich in the near future. Oliva, who still lives in Spain with their two children, spent a week in Munich visiting Jose Manuel. German joblessness unexpectedly rose in October to its highest level since June 2011 on a seasonally adjusted basis, but the unemployment rate remained close to its lowest level since reunification more than two decades ago. The number of people out of work increased by 2,000 to 2.973 million, data from the Labour Office showed on October 30, 2013. But the jobless rate held steady at 6.9 percent, making it the envy of struggling euro zone peers like Greece and Spain, where more than one in four people are out of work.
