theweaselkingSnopes sez: "the story about unemployment benefits and prostitution in Germany is probably not true"
I sez: Unusually, for Snopes, they neither quote nor run down the actual names, dates, and places in the article.
I also sez: I wonder if they'd require you to take a job as a medical products tester or some other hazardous employment - making the distinction from "bars" (the comment which IS suspicious from a credibility sense) doesn't appear to be all that difficult: It's a hazardous job that requires putting your body on the line, not just your mind and skills.
