To the contrary, you do not count as unemployed towards the official statistics. You will get benefits in addition to your salary though. Essentially the same manipulations are done to the statistics here as in many countries, they try to remove most unemployed people from the numbers by sending them to training, minimum wage jobs (so called 1 euro jobs). This has gotten a lot worse in the past years and the social divide has become as large as in e.g. The US. |

Not even close.
Gini coefficient of Germany 2005: 0.28. The USA in 2009: 0.46
