Bern, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) - The unemployment rate in Switzerland rose in January to 4.5 percent from 4.4 percent in December 2009, but the figure was lower than many analysts predicted. The increase over a year earlier was 36.9 percent. Positive signs are that the number of jobs vacant rose by more than 1,700 and November figures for partial unemployment, the latest available, show fewer companies turning to this temporary solution.
