Re: How the jobs are counted... (4.00 / 3)

Well, hours of work (weekly, annual). And productivity.

Yet more quicksands involving incompatible data, untold complications, and uncertain indicators...

I hope all this is worth a bunch of years off Purgatory.

Re: How the jobs are counted... (4.00 / 3)

Thanks for all the work, and the great info. I have no control over the employment policies in purgatory- or even a good source for the stats-, but I can offer a good glass of wine and my gratitude for the learning process.

Capitalism searches out the darkest corners of human potential, and mainlines them.
