Germany Is Losing Its Brains

At a faster pace than immigration? That's friggin' amazing:

Figures released by Germany’s Federal Statistics Office showed that the
number of Germans emigrating rose to 155,290 last year [...]. Leading economists
and employers say the trend is alarming. [...] OECD figures show that Germany is
near the top of a league of industrial nations experiencing a brain drain which
for the first time since the 1950s now exceeds the number of immigrants.
[...]

Yesterday, the country’s woes were underscored by a report which
disclosed that areas of unemployment-wracked eastern Germany were populated by a
“male-dominated underclass susceptible to far right ideology” because of a
dramatic 25 per cent exodus of young women aged 18 to 29.

More than 18,000 Germans moved to Switzerland last year. The US was
the second most popular destination with 13,245, followed by Austria with
9,309.

Gee, why do you think smart Germans are abandoning Germany?
