(Colombo Page) Euro-Area Unemployment Rate Reaches Record 11.2% The jobless rate in the euro area has reached the highest on record as the festering debt crisis and deepening economic slump prompted companies to cut jobs. European Union’s statistics office in Luxembourg expressed that unemployment in the economy of the 17 nations using the euro reached a revised 11.2 percent in May and held at that level in June. That’s the highest since the data series started in 1995. In Germany, unemployment climbed for a fourth straight month in July. As per the latest released reports, companies generally are under serious pressure to keep their labor forces as tight as possible to contain their costs in the face of the current limited demand, strong competition and worrying and uncertain growth outlook. Furthermore, those reports predict that there looks to be a very real danger that the euro-zone unemployment rate could reach 12 percent in 2013. (Bloomberg) Power cut causes major disruption in northern India A massive power cut has caused disruption across northern India, including in the capital, Delhi. It hit a swathe of the country affecting more than 300 million people in Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan states. Power Ministry confirmed that most of the supply had been restored and the rest would be reinstated soon. It is unclear why the supply collapsed but reports say some states may have been using more power than authorized. The power cut happened at 02:30 local time on Monday (2100 GMT Sunday) after India's Northern Grid network collapsed.
