I just have a question for those here at apolyton living in Europe. What is the unemployment rate in the country you are living in? Here is the US it is around 6%.

Here (Germany) it's around 10%. That's what they say, but they lie. The truth is probably much worse.Comment

Indeed, you don't count those on "rehabilitation", for example, to keep people off the rolls. There are more examples. In fact, your unemployment is closer to 20%, fairly counted.I'd rather have a German division in front of me than a French division behind me.--PattonComment

I dunno, supposedly low but the figures have been 'readjusted' with various stuff.
Well within the science sector, the government are perpetuating a very nasty lie. They claim they need more people there, that there is an employee shortage. This is a lie though. In my experience it has been very hard for science graduates to find jobs...Speaking of Erith:

Anyway, Fulltime student with part-time job.Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

We in the US only count those looking for work as unemployed. Those that have given up aren't. I wonder what the true unemployment rate in the US is?Originally posted by LoneWolf

I work part-time (around 50 to 100 hours a month), but as that usually net's me £2,500 then I see no need to work more. )
