1220282 2011-08-01 21:25:00 Yes well look at Zimbabwes economy.

However, I read about Andorra (briefly) in a magazine so looked it up. The mag said 0%, that was a couple of years ao.
What was interesting is they are a wee country with a population of about 85000, they have healthcare, they even have welfare, they're not like a 3rd world country. They do all the usual things the rest of us do.

They only sell sheep and tobacco and do a bit of tourism. Hmm, bit like NZ?
But their govt earns more than they spend. How unusual.

2.9% now, they did import some workers a while back and I guess they got the recession like the rest of Europe, but I'd say they're doing well.

Why can't we?

We insist on living beyond our means and we have had a series of Govt's that really haven't had a clue. They have done nothing to try and retain manufacturing here and in actual fact Trade and Industry have done the reverse.

That doesnt include those moved onto 'sickness benefit' ,

A more important figure is the % on any sort of welfare, govt handout etc. That would be a scarey % for NZ

Yes Labour moved quite a few onto the sickness benefit.

1220287 2011-08-03 00:42:00 The unemployment rates around here are wildly variable. Some are are 100% unemployed while their neighbours are 0% unemployed.
The TAB seems to be able to pick the difference quite well.
