Ted, With unemployment so high....and btw its barely 10%, not 11% German Unemployment Rises for Ninth Month in October, DGB Says Nov. 3 (Bloomberg) -- German unemployment rose for the ninth month in October, keeping the jobless rate at a five-year high of 10.7 percent, as companies including Volkswagen AG sought to counter falling earnings with cost reductions. The number of jobseekers in Europe's largest economy rose a seasonally adjusted 12,000, the Berlin-based DGB labor-union federation said. The Nuremberg-based Federal Labor Agency will release the official figures at 9:55 a.m. German time. Economists expected an increase by 15,000, the median of 41 forecasts in a Bloomberg survey showed. quote.bloomberg.com Joe

With unemployment so high....and btw its barely 10%, not 11%....... Wrong, please do your home work. The current (Sept 04) German unemployment rate is 10.7%, close enough to my 11%: "German Jobless Rate Rises to Five-Year High" www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=71000001&refer=home&sid=a.Y0TQyDoQxY For additional info on the true unemployment rate well hidden by the current administration and their nifty tricks, check this link: www.rense.com/general31/germanunemployment.htm Only the MTV generation of Germans speak English well enough to consider emigrating to the US.
