PARIS, Jan 26 (Reuters) - French unemployment rose 1 percent in December from November, labour ministry data showed on Wednesday, in an ongoing sign of job market fragility in the euro zone's second-biggest economy. The number of registered jobseekers increased by 27,100 to 2.725 million from the month before. The December figure was 3 percent higher year-on-year.
In November, the jobless total had grown 0.8 percent from October.
The data is not prepared according to widely used International Labour Organisation standards and does not include an unemployment rate. But as the most reported domestic jobs indicator in France it is politically significant.
