As usual unemployment is low in the productive countries (Germany, Austria) and high is the communist-influenced areas like Spain and Greece.

Spain hits high unemployment fairly regularly. The only reason it went lower over the last few years was the fake global warming scams there and resulting housing boom.

BTW...I think these unemployment numbers are inflated. I read a few days ago that Spain's unemployment was just over 20%.

The social market economy is in part influenced by communism.

Yes. But I think the heavier influence of communism is in the South right now where global warming and bailouts get the most publicity. This is also where Muslim influence is heaviest which is no coincidence.

A lot of people are being paid under the table — so, the unemployment numbers are, doubtless, inflated. However, that still leaves a lot of people available to form violent street mobs.

The hypesters are making money on the swings in the stock markets.

Shorts have their media outlets where they suck everything out of the hype stories they can...thus the 50% unemployment numbers.

But lots of people are going to make a killing going the other way shortly. Watch and see.
