Title: Unemployment rates country comparison
Post by: smoooth2 on February 03, 2013, 10:13:29 AM
An interesting comparison of unemployment rates around the world. Some surprises !!
May be a conversation starter over a beer when there is nothing else to talk about   :)

First website lists highest unemployment to lowest.

Next website lists all countries alphabetically.

With no unemployment benefit, how can they have any sort of accurate picture of the unemployed.

In my village -now that the harvest is in -it is probably 50%+

I suppose that if beggars receive money , then they are not unemployed!  The chanting or blessing  can be construed as employment.

Then add in the freelance boys and girls selling their bodies. If they have a customer, they are "employed" for a "short-time"


0.7%   Hmmm!
