An interesting comparison of unemployment rates around the world. Some surprises !!

Thailand has 0.7% unemployment?  Now pull the other one!

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%+

?........ And do the fibgures include monks?

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!
