Ignorant: Juliana Holm and Frank Matthews
Back in February we had a thread titled "Five million Germans out
of work" where I posted that approximately 150,000 jobs needed to be created each month in the USA to keep up with population growth. Both Juliana Holm and Frank Matthews forced their ignorance upon us and claimed that this number needed to be radically reduced due to deaths and retirements. I waited until I saw another news article that proved my original premise. Here is a BBC article from today on the subject of the job creation figures from March (for the USA). Note that the article states "Many economists estimate that about 200,000 jobs need to be created each month simply to keep employment stable, given population growth." So if anything, my original figure was too low. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/4401171.stm And here is a Money/CNN background article: http://money.cnn.com/2005/02/14/news...ex.htm?cnn=yes And back to the subject of the original post, here is a BBC article on the extremely weak German economy and unemployment: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/4397701.stm |
