>>This weekend two Japanese people came for lunch. They said the true inemployment in Japan is double the acknowledged figures in the region of 8%.<< I can't remember where I read this(maybe even on this thread?). If a person in Japan works just one single hour in a week, then he's not officially unemployed and doesn't show up in the numbers. Even knowing this, your Japanese contacts estimate of 8% caught me by surprise. I would assume this is gut feeling they had, right? Thanks, MikeM(From Florida)
