20-30 miljoonaaa ihmistä on menettänyt työnsä 12 viime kuukauden aikana. Tuoltahan saisi ahkeria, ammattitaitoisia ja työtätekeviä ja HALUAVIA maahanmuuttajia tännekin aivan riittävästi.
One of the hottest topics in the media right now is the rising unemployment rate in countries around the globe, especially with the massive layoffs occurring at some of the world's largest companies. Undoubtedly, rising unemployment is a big problem.
Case in point: Earlier this month, it was announced that the U.S.'s unemployment rate rose to 7.6% in January, with 11.6 million people in the U.S. currently unemployed. What's even more drastic is that in the last 12 months alone, the U.S. unemployment rate jumped 2.7 percentage points.
And the picture isn't any brighter for other developed and emerging nations. In fact, despite China's ability to maintain solid economic growth, the country has garnered the world's attention with its increasing number of unemployed migrant workers.
Due to the country's shrinking export sector, more than 10 million—perhaps as many as 20 million—Chinese factory workers have lost their jobs in the past 12 months. While 20 million is a huge amount of layoffs, we need to keep this figure in perspective.
China's current population accounts for more than one billion people. So, 20 million actually accounts for less than 2% of China's total workforce.
