People who have an 1 Euro job, or are "educated" to write job applications are no longer counted as unemployed. This is a nice statistical trick to lower the high numbers.
And even then the long term unemployment is extreme, with a large north south and east west imbalance, e.g. Berlin 16,8%, Bremen (my home town) 14,3%, till Bayern with only 3,4%.
You also need to consider that export oriented wage dumping means to export unemployment. So those people who have an underpayed job here, cause unemployment in southern Europe.
- moe 12y agoI often hear this sentiment (preferably harshly phrased) and agree with most of your observations, but what is your proposed solution? Should Germany act against its own interest and not export its unemployment?
