Das Gewäsch der Kollegin ist mir gleichgültig.
Das Gewäsch der deutschen Arbeitslosenzahlen ist nicht ernst zu nehmen: in der Statistik werden nicht mitgezählt die Arbeitssuchenden in Fortbildung, über 58 Jährige, die Ein-Euro-Jobber, die Aufstocker nach Hartz-IV. Die tatsächlichen Arbeitslosenzahlen in Deutschland sind schlicht viel höher, als die offiziellen Zahlen ausweisen.
