• Inflation: Germany has a good inflation percentage which means their prices on goods and services are stable in the economy. If they dive below -3 or go higher than 4 then Germany has to take action and get their prices stable once again. Looking at the table Germany has one of better inflation percentages. Afghanistan has no stability in their economy.
  

• Unemployment: Germany has one of the higher unemployment rates amongst the other countries that I compared it to. All of the countries are predominantly high due the unstable economy we have had for the past 2-3 years. I expected the high percentages amongst the countries due to the economy. I believe that every country is affected by unemployment. There is never a good unemployment rate when we are in such a bad recession.  Germany isn't nearly as bad as Afghanistan. They have such a unstable country. Germany is bouncing back from the recession quite well and  I believe Germany is making it's way back down on the unemployment.
  

• GDP: Germany is pretty well off in the sense of GDP. Their GDP compared to most countries is in the higher percentile. Japan of course is winning because of the large population that will continue to dominate. We are about 2 trillion behind but I don't think any other country will catch up to Japan besides China. Germany would be considered a "rich" country compared to the others on the chart. 
  

• Per Capita GDP:  The average income for a working citizen is $34,000 dollars per year.  That is quite a bit compared to all the other countries. You would think it would be higher because of the GDP but because of the large population it has to get divided up amongst all the people. It is fairly good salary to withhold in Germany. Things aren't as expensive as they are in the United States. You would have a hard life depending on a $34k income per year in the United States.
  
• Growth: Germany's growth didn't get any bigger than last year. It actually decreased -4.9% which indicates what an impact the economy has had on the countries GDP. It is better than Japan, Italy, and Afghanistan . I think once the economy turns around a little bit the rate will start heading up the chart. In 2011, I predict the number to become a positive number and get back money that was lost during the recession.

• I believe that Germany should be worried about the Growth in the economy the most because it is in the negative. It's hard to get your growth rate up after struggling from a recession. I hope to see a positive number come 2011.
