Or maybe you mean the exercise in cheating statistics, known as the 1-Euro jobs. Some people on unemployment can find work where they get to maintain/improve their skills, (actually a good thing) but are only paid 1 Euro per hour additionally to the Hartz IV money. It's cheating statistics, because those people are not considered unemployed anymore.
This is of course additionally to doing what every other country does: not counting as unemployed the people who have given up on trying to find a job. Those simply disappear from the labor statistics...
