It's a complicated issue. Taxes are probably the first reason. To give you an example, if you owned a company and wanted to emply someone and say, you want to give them 10 Euros/hour. In order for your employees to receive 10 Euros, you will have had to fork out about 14 to 15 Euros.
Another reason are the work rules. It is very difficult for a boss to sack someone if they hold a permanent position, making it risky. It is also difficult to hire someone for a short period of time.
And let's not talk about redtape shall we?
Unemployment rates aren't the same across the European Union, though they're high in Germany.
The situation is getting better though and the official unemployment rate (published yesterday) is now 9%, down quite significantly from 12% a few years back.
Like I said, it is a very complicated issue and there are many more reasons to this debacle, but I hope I shed some light

in case you look on the numbers 104,000 new jobs and 400,000 new jobless claims there is no way that unemployment must have lengthy previous down. That leaves 3 motives! a million.) someone is mendacity and the unemployment variety is being cooked! it truly is not likely. 2.) there's a seasonal reason that has led to the unemployment cost to flow down. consisting of we see at say Christmas time. it truly is likewise not likely. 3.) a huge type of folk are transforming into discouraged and given up on searching for a job. With the way unemployment numbers are calculated they do no longer contain those who've given up searching. it truly is the reason of the drop in unemployment. Even an editorial on the on the spot through the AP says it truly is the case.

Frances problem relates to the way they protect older people in the workforce. Where we encourage people to retire, they make it very difficult, so young people are frozen out of jobs because old people don't quit.

The massive amount of immigrants that do not work- they just complain about their life and collect welfare from the state.
