PARIS (Reuters) - The number of jobless people in mainland France hit a new all-time high in July, squeezing the time left for President Francois Hollande to fulfil a pledge to reverse the trend by the end of the year.
The total number of people registered as out of work rose by 6,300 to 3,285,700 according to data from the labour ministry on Tuesday.
The increase was 0.2 percent over one month and 10.0 percent over one year.
French jobless claims have risen steadily every month over the last 27 months as the euro zone's second-biggest economy has struggled to eke out growth.
Hollande has promised to get unemployment falling by the end of the year, although most economists doubt that the economy will prove strong enough to allow that.

UBS paying $885M to settle US claims on bonds
The Federal Housing Finance Agency, which oversees the two government-controlled mortgage finance companies, announced the settlement Thursday. The agency had sued UBS and 17 other major banks over their sales to Fannie and Freddie of about $196 billion in mortgage securities that soured when the housing market collapsed in 2007.
UBS will pay about $415 million to Fannie and $470 million to Freddie.
The FHFA said the deal means it has now reached settlements with three of the 18 banks it sued. The agency previously settled with Citigroup and GE Capital. The others include Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase.
