▼ + stars: | 2023-01-13 | by ( Rikki Klaus | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

Not everyone is celebrating, however: Jobless rates for Black women and Latino men still haven’t recovered fully from the pandemic. The unemployment rate for Black women aged 20 years and older rose to 5.5% in December, from 5.2% in November, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. For Latino men, unemployment rose 0.4 percentage points to 4% last month, higher than the 3.1% unemployment rate in February 2020. The Fed effectThe government’s current response to inflation may also be playing a role in rising unemployment for Latino men and Black women, Bahn said. In April 2020, the Hispanic unemployment rate shot up to 18.1% after hovering at around 4% pre-pandemic, BLS data shows.

A sale should only take place if it is financially advantageous," state-owned Deutsche Bahn said. The proceeds of the sale should remain entirely within the Deutsche Bahn group and contribute to reducing debt, it said. The sale has been on the cards for a while and aims to allow Deutsche Bahn to focus on its core business. Deutsche Bahn expects Schenker's operating profit to drop to about 1.2 billion euros next year, down from 2.1 billion euros in 2022, the document said, while Deutsche Bahn would post a loss of about 2 billion euros next year. Earlier, Manager Magazin reported that the DHL subsidiary of Deutsche Post (DPWGn.DE) was interested in buying Schenker.

BERLIN, Dec 15 (Reuters) - Deutsche Post (DPWGn.DE) subsidiary DHL is interested in buying Schenker, the logistics subsidiary of German rail operator Deutsche Bahn [RIC:RIC:DBN.UL], Manager Magazin reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter. The report said Schenker could be sold at a price well below 20 billion euros due to a slowdown in the logistics sector. A spokesperson for Deutsche Post would not comment on the report. Deutsche Bahn also declined to comment on the report. Reporting by Matthias Inverardi and Markus Wacket; Writing by Rachel More; Editing by Madeline ChambersOur Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.

A spokesperson for Deutsche Bahn declined to comment. Schenker, which provides logistics for sea, land and air freight, recently accounted for more than a third of Deutsche Bahn's sales. "The cash flows generated as part of a sale remain entirely within the Deutsche Bahn Group," the proposal document continues. Tough financing conditions could also lead to a decision not to sell, particularly if Deutsche Bahn is not satisfied with price, two sources said. Private equity would struggle to finance such an amount unless Deutsche Bahn decided to part with a minority stake instead, this source added.

☆ German architect von Gerkan, who designed Berlin airport, dies at 87
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-01 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +1 min

BERLIN, Dec 1 (Reuters) - Meinhard von Gerkan, one of Germany's most famous architects who designed Berlin's Tegel Airport and the capital's main railway station, has died at age 87, his office said on Thursday. A year after graduating from his architecture studies in 1964, von Gerkan founded a partnership with Volkwin Marg, which survives under the name "von Gerkan, Marg und Partner" (gmp). Von Gerkan also designed Berlin's main railway station, which is near the chancellery and within sight of the Reichstag parliament's glass cupola, though he fell out with rail operator Deutsche Bahn, which he said mutilated his design. Von Gerkan said Deutsche Bahn had made the underground hall look like a supermarket when it should have been an undulating, cathedral-like space. In 2008, Bahn and von Gerkan settled their dispute, with the rail operator paying an undisclosed sum to a foundation set up by the architect's office.

DeepL previously sold a 13.6% portion of its business to US fund Benchmark and Btov Partners in 2018, according to reporting by Slator.

☆ The unemployment rate for Black men fell in October, but so did labor force participation
▼ + stars: | 2022-11-04 | by ( Carmen Reinicke | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Joe Raedle | Getty ImagesThe unemployment rate for Black men ticked down in October while it rose for most other groups, but that may be because workers are dropping out of the labor force. For Black men, unemployment fell to 5.3% from 5.8% a month earlier on a seasonally adjusted basis. Though overall there is strength in the labor market, "this is not the tight labor market where people can just walk in and get a job no matter who they are." Overall Black unemployment ticked up led by Black women. In October, the unemployment rate for Black women jumped to 5.8% from 5.4% in September.

Suspected sabotage on the German rail network and on the Baltic Sea gas pipelines linking Germany and Russia in recent weeks have raised concerns about the country's exposure to attacks. "We have strengthened the police's work at sea," Faeser said. "Police are patrolling at sea with all their available forces and ships to also protect maritime infrastructure." Now the ministry wants to make some requirements legally binding and will present key points for a new law this year, ahead of schedule, Faeser said. Germany is also rushing to improve its preparedness for catastrophes, both manmade and natural, Faeser said, a task the country has long neglected.

BERLIN, Oct 12 (Reuters) - Attacks on critical infrastructure are high on the German government's agenda after suspected sabotage on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines, Economy Minister Robert Habeck said on Wednesday. The pipeline leaks were "a deliberately inflicted event that is so strategic and so difficult to carry off that it could not have been a private actor", Habeck told reporters in Berlin. Recent politically-motivated attacks on Deutsche Bahn railway infrastructure in Germany also showed a "concrete threat scenario", he added.
