The problem in my mind is not the the amount of employed but how to control rates when they are past history and create problems instead of allowing natural sequence of supply and demand to regulate. This has been the most vexing problem of finance in the 20th century and is the only significant problem yet to be solved. It was solved by Adam Smith, but the solution requires a trust in markets, and there is little trust among men in regimes of scarcity. This kind of regime is ending and so the problem will solve itself and disappear on its own. Men could never elect to solve the problem directly. They elected to commandeer the market and so have visited the broadening in the spectrum of wealth onto mankind. In my opinion we can't halt world inflation because it is also growth on the part of other nations. Growth even at accelerated rates and inflation are disjoint concepts in economics. The belief that that isn't true rages only among the schools of demand management. They believe that inflation is caused by too much activity straining available capacity. They don't admit that arbitrary laws constrain the increase of capacity to serve the rising activity. They believe that social objectives are worth sacrificing economic efficiency. They don't have to pay. You do. So i guess from my point of view on an investment base the greater opportunity lies outside of this nation. Yes, but your view is oriented around slave labor mentality. Get rid of that kind of thinking and you'll want to invest in the US. I want to laugh here as I think numerous corporations feel as i do but are getting hung on a day to day basis due to dollar conversion. Reported earnings is just a way to create cheap stock prices as the game parasites on the appearances. True stock evaluations are based on efficiency and scale. Currency adjustments are nominal even though they have impact on future sales. Corporations make financial and strategic moves to compensate for currency trends. The bottom line is that it isn't an investment criterion.
