Unemployment Rate Falls Again
- In Switzerland. Unemployment continued its downward trend in July, falling to 3.6 per cent. There were 142,330 people registered as unemployed, 2,143 fewer than at the end of June. The number of jobless between the ages of 15 and 24 had risen by 1,368 or 6.5 per cent.The US would be much happier if its unemployment rate were ONLY 6.5 percent A message to Jerry Pournelle points out something: Switzerland is the forgotten example in many things. It is high on many quality of life factors. Why dont MSM commentators ever refer to Switzerland? Is it because it has the most decentralised government system? Is it because there is a gun in every Swiss family home? Why is the Swiss model never quoted for repairing broken constitutions, eg Afghanistan? I asked a Swiss person I met at a party here in Melbourne. She said, oh, they are all hopelessly conservative over there Lucky Swiss. Posted by: Anguper Hupomosing9418 2010-08-09 |
