Unemployment in Argentina stable at 7.1%, but jobless have stopped looking for work, said Indec
Argentina's Indec stats office latest release shows that unemployment was stable in the first quarter, at 7.1% in the yearly comparison, but that is only because some of the jobless have stopped looking for work, as employment rates continued a declining trend which started in 2011.

Indec as a source. You can certainly take a lot of comfort in the accuracy of those numbers.
May 20th, 2015 - 02:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Enrique Massot: “Here It is, all the issues of a nation of forty-some million people explained in just seven words. We are all liars.”
Not bad considering the sluggish state of the world's and particularly Latin America's economy.
May 20th, 2015 - 04:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It's so much so, YB inadvertently acknowledges it: ”(OK, for now it's relatively fine)...but when hyperinflation kicks in...those jobs will be gone in a flash.”
Please, YB, refrain from from being so blunt. You have 40 million Argentines dying from fear!

In the mean time we have His Excellency Minister of Truth (Conqueror) giving us his latest scoop: the Indec lies. Furthermore, all Argentines are liars, as he bluntly wrote recently. And to be clear: yes, there are Argentines who are liars and murderers. I've seen liars and criminals in many other countries too. Perhaps Minister conqueror has some statistics on the topic...but then again, he doesn't believe stats prepared by bureaucrats...oh, I'd rather give up and surrender to Conq's superior, mysterious source of knowledge.
Reekie, I lived there in the past decade you've not seen it for 2 generations. Your a douche and your idiotic comments are wearing thin.

May 20th, 2015 - 06:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I believe you fail to realize this is not a contest to see who has more vocabulary for insulting others.
This is a place where we we get to express our opinion on MP articles. You post, I post, we post. Others read the comments and may benefit from the diversity of opinions posted. The more, the merrier.
It is regrettable that the abundance of insults and personal attacks may dissuade some readers from adding their opinions.
Finally, I will even consider your opinions, even if you happen to celebrate the crimes against humanity in Argentina in the 1970s--which I consider to be highly questionable.

May 20th, 2015 - 06:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Which means all that's left unemployed are filthy scum who don't want to work or are unemployable. Thanks K's for supporting these losers with my tax.
5. Reekie, Your comments are always the same and since you've not been there for 2 generations they are of no value and absolutely REEK of hypocrisy.
May 20th, 2015 - 06:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Your like the idiot Stevie who for YEARS fawned over Chavez while he drove his country and his people into the ground. Literally killing them.
The Kirchners are the same and since you don't see it I think you must be slow witted at best.
You admire a gov't that is run by corrupted thugs. Worse than any gov't than Argentina has had in 100 yrs including the Military of the 70s.
If fail to see what's so obvious to anyone with 1/2 a brain cell.
It is shameful and you disgust me.
I don't think I can be more clear
@7 Why don't you just come out and say what you really mean instead of beating around the bush. ;)

Well YB. That is your idea. Are there Argentines who agree with you? Yes.
Are there Argentines who think differently? Yessir.
A FpV governor has just been elected in the province of Salta with 60 per cent of the votes. (Salta is a province in the northwestern corner of the country). CFK is still running high in the polls.
Yes, there are two visions in conflict in Argentina. That's okay as long as things are decided at the polls. And make no mistake. We Argentines value democracy because we know what happens when democracy is not respected.
I am sure you would feel less stressed if you get down from your high horse, agree to disagree and start putting forth arguments instead of insults. I am sure more readers would come to post here without fear of being attacked.
There's no democracy in Argentina, votes are bought and it is a well known fact.
May 21st, 2015 - 11:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0When I lived there Nestor was openly giving away a/c and refrigerators in the slums! It was on the news.
There's something mentally wrong with you.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCsCNHDSUPI watch this because I think your're too stupid to understand the research papers.
Gads you're sick.
It's a Kleptocracy not a democracy here.
May 21st, 2015 - 01:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I love how this Twit Enrique thinks he knows whats going on here and all is happy in Argentina.
Maybe he should visit and talk to some of the working people here, not just the Kampora klowns.

I hope that YankeeBoy will forgive me if I paraphrase Don Mclean at this point, a line from his song “Vincent”:-
“They did not listen, they're not listening still. Perhaps they never will”
Goodbye argentina, don't cry for me.............

In Ciudad de Salta, Gustavo Saenz –Sergio Massa's candidate– won over the FpV candidate.
However, according to your above conclusion, the opposition can't win in Argentina because “votes are bought and it is a well-known fact.”
So, according to your research papers, what happened in the Ciudad de Salta?
Let me know and spare the adjectives.
