Aye. My friends in Germany (well, Austria at least) tell me there are no shortage of jobs in Alemannia either. Stifling the economy hasn't happened. I definitely have looked to them for inspiration there. As well as Spain and Italy for their gov't funding of worker cooperatives. Which I think is probably an even better answer to a balanced system, but I'm afraid too many people don't have the mind or focus to make worker co-ops work well on the whole. Definitely a few ideas from Europe though that if they're all embraced, will make a significant difference.

It's nothing like SV or even quite as good as big US metro area IT money, but it's not bad - 30 days vacation is the norm (thank you, IG Metall!), on top of a ludicrous public holiday schedule (thank you, Catholic Church, I guess...) and frankly ridiculous sick leave policy (thank you, German government).
