213 million people around the world have no job, but is this actually an accurate figure? The numbers for the US are also included in that total, so I can hardly see how that figure can be accurate at all if the other countries keep the same kind of accounting system that the US does.
After your off unemployment in the US you are no longer seen as a number to be counted. You cease to exist in the eyes of the government.
The United Nations work agency said it was putting back by two years from 2013 its previous assessment of the time needed to create the 22 million jobs still needed to regain the pre-crisis level - 14 million in rich countries and 8 million in developing states.
The global economy has started to grow again with encouraging signs of employment recovery especially in some Asian and Latin American emerging economies, the ILO said in its annual World of Work report.
"Despite these significant gains ... new clouds have emerged on the employment horizon and the prospects have worsened significantly in many countries," it said.
Raymond Torres, lead author of the report, told a news conference that job losses since the crisis started had totalled some 30-35 million. The ILO has forecast global unemployment this year of 213 million, a rate of 6.5 per cent.
