Abstract
The economic crisis that hit the United States and Europe in 2007 had a considerable impact on employment. While unemployment has grown throughout OECD’s countries, the only exception was Germany, where actually unemployment decreased between 2008-2009. The main reasons lay on the country’s adjustment mechanism through internal numerical flexibility, as well as on its coordinated market economy system.
