Japan's seasonally adjusted jobless rate fell to 2.8% in June, separate government data showed, easing from a three-year high hit the previous month and beating the median estimate of 3.1%.

Yeah yeah yeah....

I agree with this article. So true. Sanitized. Amazing article. Love it. Go Japan! Yeah! Jobless rate and all.

 The jobs-to-applicants ratio dropped to 1.11, which means for every 100 workers their 111 jobs. Not bad.

the reason there are so many jobs available is because many jobs cant be filled because either nobody wants to work them or the pay is too little. Japan economy shrank 20% last quarter yes manufacturing is up 11% . no the economy is far from getting back on track to levels prior to the tax hike last year. they dont mention all the big airlines corporations that demand bailouts and the 1000s of small businesses that went bankrupt

In factories, they do not deal with people. Affected seriously are the businesses which have to deal with people.

since everything hangs off the chassis , they assemble them that way at the factory. you every tried installing a rear axle on a truck using jacks!? far easier to install it with overhead cranes, everything is waist height and easy to install, less heavy lifting less back bending means faster production lines and less injuries

The metrics used to establish these figures are more massaged than a Matsuzaka cow and are as reliable as the coronavirus data coming out of other agencies.

Good job, outstanding Japan model, gotta keep the numbers that negatively affect that perfect image low. Just like the covid-19 numbers, there shouldn't be a blemish on the good, we-are-special image.

2.7% is a sharp rise?

Really?
