You're thinking like the typical German it seems. What you should know: - Other "cheaper" countries are getting more expensive as well, at a staggering pace. - In Europe, Germany is actually much cheaper than 10 years ago. - Currently the employment for qualified persons is doing very well Germany's problem is rather that it's going out of qualified engineers at a very fast rate, thus accepting immigration should be a key politic. Germany's politicians and CEOs have been very good at scaring people to keep their salary down, but if you look at the state of workforce now you'll see that all this doom speech that all jobs are moving to China and India was not quite true.
