Loving David Hasselhoff

Following up on this post from yesterday, Germany's unemployment rate has officially exceeded five million/twelve percent.

Germany's unemployment figure rose above the psychologically important level of five million last month.

On Wednesday, the German Federal Labour Agency said the jobless total had reached 5.037 million in January, which takes the jobless rate to 12.1%.

"Yes, we have effectively more than five million people unemployed," a government minister said earlier on ZDF public television.

Unemployment has not been this high in Germany since the 1930s.

The Germans have five million (of about eighty-two million, keeping in mind that many of those are children and pensioners) out of work, the French can't be convinced to work for more than thirty five hours a week... And the Euro is worth more than the dollar? And liberals think we should be emulating their political systems?

Perhaps the Germans can engineer some system whereby a person can make money for loving David Hasselhoff!
