Although in principle I am against "work sharing", there is merit in looking at programs from other countries to slow down unemployment even if government sponsored to bridge us to 2011, which is when most agree we will see the employment effects of GDP and stock-market rebound. Germany's unemployment rate is 8.1%, hig...her than Britain's or Japan's. If the economy picks-up faster than predicted (which I believe will happen), then continuing to extend unemployment benefits may be the best short-term solution.
