March 25, 2018 - The news out of Germany's Federal Employment Agency is good. The agency's Institute for Employment Research (IAB) reports that the economy is on course to create 650,000 new jobs this year, 100,000 of which will be taken up by people who came to the country as refugees. Overall, just under 46 million people are expected to be employed in 2018 — a record number for postwar Germany.

2.2%....pikers. That’s pathetic for the strongest economy in the EU. We should be between 3 & 4% this year.
