Tell me about their high unemployment?

Most of those pharmaceutical products are not MADE in Switzerland, only the H.O. is in Switzerland. The country has a very expensive cost structure and yes, a lot of problems emanating from that.

Re: The Swiss are so uncompetitive that they only make up 10% to 20% of the products in a typical U.S. supermarket and only 30% of the products in U.S. pharmacies.

Show me the money. Got any URLs to prove these bold assertions?

Ciba-Geigy is doing well, but Glaxo is not Swiss. And here on the West Coast, Swiss products hardly appear at all in our supermarkets, Tobelerone excepted in a miniscule corner of the candy counter.
