#1 Crap. How will I ever relocate there if they don't have any jobs?

#3 The wonders of Eurosclerosis - no jobs are ever created or destroyed, except by retirement or death.

Betcha that 130,000 doesn't count 'attrition'.

#4 Upon closer inspection (IE, my lazy ass actually went and read the article), the spokesdroid actually was talking about an increase in unemployment, not a decrease in employment. For those of you who don't pay attention to this sort of thing, they're two distinct and not-necessarily-related phenomena. We're talking 130,000 additional folks drawing unemployment. I don't think that includes perpetual students, perpetually trainees, or out-right NEET.

(I love that acronym, btw - 'Not currently engaged in Employment, Education or Training'. It's so much less judgmental than 'hikikomori' or 'unemployable bum'.

#5 They can always send that million and a half Turks that don't plan to assimilate packing. That would open up a lot of jobs, cut the welfare rolls, and increase the habitability of Germany, all at the same time. Of course, it's not PC, but screw PC.
