Greece’s unemployment rate extended its record high, climbing to 26.8 percent in October as the country heads into a sixth year of recession.
The rate rose from 26.2 percent in September, revised higher from an earlier figure of 26 percent, the Athens-based Hellenic Statistical Service said in an e-mailed statement today. Joblessness is the highest since the agency began publishing monthly data in 2004.
