Greece's jobless rate climbed to more than a quarter of the workforce in August, extending its record high as Prime Minister Antonis Samaras pushed through more austerity measures linked to the country's bailouts.
The rate rose to 25.4 percent from a revised 24.8 percent in July, the Athens-based Hellenic Statistical Authority said in an e-mailed statement today. That's the highest since the agency began publishing monthly data in 2004.
