the govt will tell you the effect of end of recession does not come so quickly....

Recession! What recession?

Even in the best of times, if you can't get a job, it is recession time.

In a recession, if you have a job, what's the big deal.

Welcome to capitalism, the ideal scene of it is to go into a recession and when it recovered, increase tax and cost of living, till a stage of backlashing and we go into a recession again, and when recovered again, tax will increase and so son...that is how the system works ya.

what about asian crisis, from July 1997 to 98? even in 99 it was difficult looking for work then.

2% unemployement is consider full employment,

so, we typical have a 3% employment net. as economy recover, alots of companies are restructing itself to be Cheaper, Better and Faster. Those that survived the recession would had redesigned their employment policies to be lean, effective and efficient. Therefore you will see a down in employement, due to restructuring of employment policies by Company's HR. New ways of working and technology can also create certain structure unemployment for some people, therefore it is important that one must be able to change with the market labour demand inorder to get employed. The changes can be upgrading, retraining, reskilling or other Professional education upgrading.

Finally, bearing in mind our aging workforce population, as more and more are retired or retrenched at old age during the last downturn, the figure can affect the unemployment rates. eg, you give 20months of paid to a 58yo old guy as retrenchment benefit, he will take it with delight, after that, he goes into early retirement, which mean that a potential employable person is not employed.

I see where this is going.. soon the govt will step in to claim credit for this and establish further pay increment

xtreyier SG

I see what's coming. Soon consumer confidence will rise, start wisely spending their money for what they think they deserved for the hard work and sacrifice for the past year, companies make more money, gives bigger bonuses and increment to staff who had loyally stuck with them on lower wages, and these employees become consumers, and so the cycle of boom blooms.

Boomz, man!!!

Without your help and your sacrifices, this breakthrough would not have been possible, despite attempts by some here to sow discord and dissatisfaction, which you largely ignored, and keep the nose to the grind.

Your efforts had shown, and the results evident. You had helped our society pull through the greatest trial of our times - recession on a global scale. Give yourself a pat on the back.

I am honoured and priviledged to have you beside me through this trial. Thanks a million!!!!

Now, let us together help the 5% unemployed citizens on our shores with recommendations for job openings, contribution, etc as well as the less priviledged amongst us, and help them rise with us.

Cheers!

With peoples still buying cars and properties, eating at posh restaurant, touring expensive places and shopping like no tomorrow,who care about GDP figure anymore, that is the govt statistic, and since most of you guys dun trust or even hate the govt, why bother to look at a state created statistic of GDP?? if they said GDP goes up to 8%, you also follow ar??? then you must be stupidest of them all.

In first place, where got recession, i dun even feel it.

Atobe SG

In first place, where got recession, i dun even feel it.

Does a "hum" ever feel anything - when its Life of irrelevance is to have half of its "hum" hanging out from its shell, and wait for its customers to bugger it at its Bar ?

Is there any recession for a Taiwanese "hum" that thrives on bad times as much as it thrives on good times - when its services offered are "hums" - wine - and songs ?
