"was growing recently and unemployment decreased ... but poverty has increased."
The economy has been growing for one damn year after a decade of slump. Besides our(I am German too) new great coalition has added a 3%VAT increase in this year just to sweeten it up. But in the end this is lamenting on a high level: even the poor people in Germany are better off (financially) than most people have been in communist countries.
