You don't need any enlightenment Thomas. Just use your head and look around.

Are you better off today than you were in 2008 when GonzipN made 101 promises simply to remain in power? Were you paying so much as today for the W & E bilsl, cost of fuel and gas cylinders? Was the cost of living as dear as it is today? Did GonziPN give you €500 a week to compensate for the ever rising cost of living?

I don't think I need to go on!

"No need to keep a track record I have better things to do, there's something called Google nowadays which takes you 2 seconds to find something - since every household can afford a computer with Internet connection, I just used it"

Doesn't seem that you have better things to do AND you have used your computer INCORRECTLY!

Yes, I categorically deny that I am NOT him that you are quoting i.e. you are misquoting me.

So in future, when you don't have better things to do, take care to quote other persons CORRECTLY!

Hope you don't apply for some IT job (not at Ghost City because that was just a vain promise by GonziPN!)

Economic reality better than what the figures show - minister
Economic reality in Malta was different from what was being shown by statistics, with positive results being achieved in employment, exports and wages despite the fact that the country was officially in recession, Finance Minister Tonio Fenech said this morning.

Unemployment up
The number of persons registered as unemployed during May stood at 6,698 - an increase of 332, or 5.2 per cent, over the corresponding month last year, the NSO said.

That's not bad at all 5.2%. In Australia it is 5.1%.

Don't forget the 500 unemployed employees at Air Malta, do they count?

Your own comment, when statistics showed improvment (article: http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20110311/local/maltese-consumers-trust-in-authorities-continues-to-grow.354259)"

Mr Sherlock Holmes you got it ALL wrong!

I am NOT him!

Better luck next time!

(hope you do not apply for some investigating job ha! ha!)

NB:By the way are you keeping a track record on me and why?

Forsi l-istatistika qeda tinsa li hawn hafna nies ghax ghalqu l-61 sena tilfghu xogholhom - u l-penzjoni taghhom forsi tlahhaq qrib il-500 Euro - u dawn ukoll qeghdin ifittxu xoghol ghax ghandhom familja; imma dawn ma jistawx jirregistraw ghalkemm li jekk jahdmu ikollhom ihallsu l-bolla minghajr ma tghinnhom tiztied il-penzjoni. Veru nilaghbu bin-numri biex nuru rejalita li ma teziztiex.

Something which was going to happen one day or another. It's normal to have high and low seasons of employment.

One reason might be that people don't search in the right place for jobs. sites like www.maltajobs.com.mt and www.jobsearch.com.mt offer daily job updates with e-mail notifications too.


Hope it helps someone and good bless!

Dont bother about statistics.........Ask Minister Tonio Borg and he'll give you the true picture :)

I do hope that such statistics are trustworthy. It is a shame that a number of the EU countries, mostly Greece, forwarded false statistics, in quite a number of areas, just to come in line with the EU's requirements. What is even more shameful is how the EU, with all its expertise, did not notice such irregularities, until it was too late.
What strikes me in these statistics is the difference in the general attitude of the EU countries regarding unemployment, where, in most countries, it is the young age group (16-24) that shows the highest percentage of people looking for a job (about 33% in Italy alone). I do hope that equal criteria are used in Malta to forward statistical results as the rest of the EU!

Can somebody tell us what is this mess. In one instance statistic of convenience tell us that unemployment is getting low and in others unemployment is up. Unemployment is without doubt on the increase and it is increasing daily because this government offers nothing for our workers wages that stimulate people to go to work. This government of GonziPN will be written in the economic history of Malta as the government that offers lousy wages.
