Abstract
In East Germany, unemployed metalworkers are more skilled than those w ith jobs. This paradox is analyzed by comparing the two Germanies with respect to: the contents and methods of occupational training (initia l and ongoing) and public measures. Information from interviews conduc ted with company directors in Thuringia (in the former Democratic Repu blic) serves as the basis for making subtle distinctions when discussi ng training's impact on unemployment.
