Interesting Fact of the Day! No. 8 - Global Unemployment!

Here are some unemployment figures from around the world...















Faroe Islands 1%
Bermuda 2.1%
Vietnam 2.4%
United Kingdom 4.7%
United States 5.1%
Australia 5.1%
India 8.9%
Germany 11.7%
Argentina 11.6%
China 20% (Estimated overall unemployment)
Monaco 22%
Zimbabwe 80%
Liberia 85%

The World Average sits at around 30%

Quite mad when you try and imagine what it would be life to live with 85% unemployment. Also quite a shock to see Germany's unemployment rate still sitting so high. These figures were all taken from the CIA Fact Book which is quite an interesting read if you get a chance...

Interesting that Mr Redford thinks Bush owes the American people an apology. No word as to whether the people of Iraq deserve one, too.
