Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Jobless in EU

Economic Times ( 09 Jan. 2012 ) reports following figures for unemployment rates in Nov 2011 :
 Austria ……………………………. 4.0 %
 Germany …………………………. 5.5 %
 Czech Rep. ……………………… 6.7 %
 Sweden ……………………………..7.4 %
 Finland ………………………………7.4 %
 UK ……………………………………….8.3 %
 Italy …………………………………. 8.6 %
 France ……………………………… 9.8 %
 Poland …………………………………10.0 %
 Hungary ………………………………10.7 %
 Ireland ………………………………..14.6 %
 Greece ………………………………. 18.8 %
 Spain …………………………………..22.9 %
For citizens of these countries , it would be a small consolation to know that the developing countries in Asia and Africa have been living with 30 % – 40 % unemployment rates for decades
Their “ Unemployment Flu “ has now reached EU !
And there is no vaccine in sight !
