The once-booming Brazilian economy created the fewest new jobs in a decade during 2012 as struggling manufacturing industries and mining companies hired fewer workers, according to Labour ministry data. Latinamerica’s leading economy added 1.3 million payroll jobs last year, the worst result since 2003 and way below the 2 million jobs created in 2011. Read full article

The clever thing for the near future, when things do improve, is to get the EXISITNG workforce to produce more goods and wealth.

This can be done by increasing production efficiency. Reducing manual input for some form of automation is definitely the way forward. It also improves the type of production worker and makes them more flexible.

But I suppose, looking at the unions, this is nothing short of heresy (if I believed in god, which I do not).

@2 Hapatia

Are you stupid by birth or do you work at it?

Would you like to demonstrate why I am incorrect with my post as you seem to 'think'.

I await with bated breath for your missive on this subject.

CLUE: it's not economics.

Você realmente acha que o problema é político? Pois eu te digo que não é. O cálculo de desemprego é o mesmo que nos tempos de Fernando Henrique, e o problema era muito maior. 10% da nossa população ativa não tinha fonte de renda, não tinha amparo social, não tinha sonhos ou esperança. Andávamos pelas ruas e víamos um deplorável comércio informal, víamos nossas ruas sujas, trânsito bloqueado para os poucos que tinham carro. Víamos prédios de luxo que adornavam uma paisagem esquálida e pobre. Víamos um povo que fazia qualquer negócio para conseguir, não a dignidade, mas o pão de cada dia. Vendiam suas almas, seus corpos. Vendiam porque não vislumbravam um horizonte, pasme, com pão na mesa.
Então você acha mesmo que aquela política da direita era a mais correta?
Homem, tenha o mínimo de sensibilidade.
Hoje, não só temos o pão na mesa como temos sonhos e esperança. Acredito que as decisões políticas que nosso atual governo está tomando são as melhores possíveis. O Brasil não depende de seu comércio exterior para se posionar bem em sua economia. Nosso comércio exterior é muito pequeno para influenciar nosso crescimento. Além disso, não somos um povo educado o suficiente para concorrermos em pé de igualdade com as nações “ricas” e desenvolvidas. Precisamos antes fazer a tarefa de casa. Não podemos nos abrir para enriquecer algumas empresas e empresários que não tem compromisso com a sociedade e o meio ambiente.
Homem, tenha sensibilidade!

The question is whether Europeans have the credibility or standing to lecture anybody on the subject of economics. The answer is no.

P.S. Are you dyslexic?

No I am not and if I were what would that have to do with anything.

Dyslexia is not a measure or indication of lack of intellect.

So tell me the answer to my question, and while you are at it WHY you are so stupid.

Unfortunately your new found ability to spell is not such a great attribute as to allow Europeans the credibility and standing to lecture anybody on the subject of economics. Sorry.

Did you not realise I ALWAYS cut and paste the tag, so that I get even the screwball AR tags right!

So if I have quoted you incorrectly, it's because YOU typed it incorrectly.

LMFAO.
