...Bonn, Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's decision to withdraw to the comparative quietude of his nation's presidency-a decision he acknowledged had been made quickly-symbolically ended an era in postwar German history.

They see basic structural changes in the labor picture caused by increased automation, corporate decentralization, labor-force immobility, and the surge of new workers from the postwar baby crop. It is still too early to be certain. Yet the labor market has been relatively stable over the past several months, with only modest improvement, and administration economists do not see much prospect of unemployment dropping below the 5½% line until late fall, or possibly early next year...
