Known Limitations

BA fuer Arbeit adapter — employment metrics (unemployment rate, job openings, BA-X) currently failing; adapter needs fixing
ZEW adapter — economic sentiment metrics currently failing
Some Destatis tables — RETAIL, PPI, IMPORT_PRICE, AVG_WAGE, GINI, MEDIAN_INC, POVERTY failing; table codes may need correction
DE_MORTGAGE — returns 13% (2003), series ID suspect; actual current rate ~3.5%
Unit formatting — DE_LABFORCE and DE_POP display raw values; format fields need correction
