Prostitute Retraining Program

Germany's Federal Labor Agency is training prostitutes to become care workers for the elderly.

The whole concept sounds "very coherent" to Heinz Oberlach from Germany's Federal Labor Agency -- especially since there are few sectors that so desperately need new workers like nursing homes and social services.
There are some 6,400 vacancies in the sector nationwide, even though Germany's unemployment rate tops 12 percent. And the country's rapidly aging society will only make the problem more acute in the coming decades.
"It all fits together like the pieces of a puzzle," enthuses Oberloch.

Many experts consider women with experience in the sex trade to be especially well suited to the job.
