Japan's October jobless rate falls to 2.7% after state of emergency lifted

Good, good news!

These numbers aren’t impressive at all and should be read cautiously.

In Europe for example,especially in our nordic countries there is a minimum wage per hour and a limit of work hours plus payed holidays.

In Japan a good part of these workers are freelancers with long working hours and no benefits.

So really nothing to envy about these numbers which serves only for their propaganda.

Maybe this article was written too early now that the new Omicron virus is back the SOF will perhaps get put back into effect.

Reading with my large bag of salt.

The unemployment rate has always been stated low yet strangely it has never translated to a strong economy the past 30 years what a strange phenomenon.

Let me guess - the female in the photo isn't a student at a Japanese school.
