YIKES !

The figure of 5.216 million people, or 12.6% of the working-age population, is the highest jobless rate in Europe's biggest economy since the 1930s.

Nah, the EU is about to take over the economic world. They have no problems. As soon as the US market goes bust, they'll be selling tons of expensive German automobiles. So, don't sweat it.

Yeah, after getting your arses kicked twice last century you don't want to start this century out the same way.

It's much better to be jobless then have it blown out from under you...

Hmpph - do you think the inflexibility of the economy, particularly interest rate control, since being stuck with the Euro currency might have something to do with it?

I dunno Beet... we'll have to ask the Scandinavians that have been predicting the demise of the US economy how to handle this German problem. They'll only know for sure.

In January 2005 Germany has changed the definition of "jobless people".

Before this day the so called "Sozialhilfeempfänger" were not counted in german statistics as jobless people.

Now both goups are mixed to one and thats the reason for the sudden increase of 1 million in the statistics.

Without this effect Germany would have the same 4 million jobless people like under the rule of chancellor Kohl.
