I thought 5.6% was bad

European Economies: German Jobless Rise to Record (Update3)

Feb. 2 (Bloomberg) -- German unemployment jumped to the highest since World War II as new rules added welfare recipients to the jobless register, clouding the outlook for Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder in elections this month.

The number of people out of work in January rose by 227,000 to 4.71 million in seasonally adjusted terms, including 230,000 new jobless claimants, the Nuremberg-based Federal Labor Agency said today. The adjusted unemployment rate rose to 11.4 percent

And I thought everyone was complaining that Bush was a terrible President because he “caused a 5.6% unemployment rate?  I guess socialism doesn’t work, so why do the liberals keep trying to take the USA there?
