German Oct. jobless numbers fall 26,000

German Oct. jobless rate falls to 8.1% vs 8.2% Sep



That's really rock solid. I don't know how the Germans manage it, but respectable success.

 

wages below 1Euro/hour are not unknown.

 

LOL which would do... +/-160 euros a month?

Germany is no developping country, you know?

 

It's called "Kurzarbeit" and other government subsidies

 

As if the US, hell, any other country in the world isnt expanding it's government to ofset a contraction in the private sector.

So why not agree they all do it and judge the quality of the government sector country by country.

 

ABM ?

 

Germany has a deep history in government created jobs. Auto Bahn Mass-Employment

 

That's BS, they have minimum-wages by law (don't know how much though).

 

These are the so called "mini-jobs". Some very very hard workers earn up to 400Euros/month.

 

Hmmm..... but if that would be true, then they aren't counted for full in the "jobless claims" for which the OP started this thread.
