1. The cost of reunification was five times greater than predicted in the 'worst-case scenario'. 2. Germany is still making the transition from a largely manufacturing industry economy to a service based economy. The German economy is struggling because despite an extensive social security net, universal healthcare, generous pay, benefits and holidays, relatively low government debt and a large and sophisticated manufacturing sector based on capital equipment and high quality consumer goods (BMW, Schott glass) and overall excellent standard of living, the German people refuse to embrace the "quarterly profit margins determine economic success" system loved by the Anglophone world. Will they never learn? Incidentally, unemployment statistics in Germany are based on comprehensive, accurate surveys that give the true picture rather than the US idea of counting at least one hours work a week as employment and regarding anyone not claiming unemployment benefit but unemployed as nonexistent.
