Original Note:
The numbers cannot simply be added. Of the 5.5M 'Bürgergeld' recipients, 1.5M are not employable (e.g. children). Of the remaining 4M employable recipients, 1.7M are already counted in the 2.8M unemployment number. Thus, the 'real unemployment rate' of 18% is overstated. https://de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/666712/umfrage/leistungsempfaenger-von-arbeitslosengeld-ii-und-sozialgeld-im-monat-in-deutschland/ https://statistik.arbeitsagentur.de/SiteGlobals/Forms/Suche/Einzelheftsuche_Formular.html?queryResultId=null&pageNo=0&topic_f=gemeinde-arbeitslose-quoten https://www.arbeitsagentur.de/en/financial-support/citizens-benefits
