Was this a result of the creation of the imaginary 20,000 jobs? Gonzipn is in the land of nod.

How come that the NSO reaches the figure of unemployed?
If anything it is the ETC who can give the actual figure of unemployed and registering for work.
Tis register is at their offices.

Sur Galea, nixtieq inkun naf il-ghala fl-istatistika tal-qadd ma tinludiex ukoll dawk l-ex haddiema tal-gvern li tilfu l-post tax-xoghol taghhom ghax ghalqu l-61 imma penzjoni m'ghandhomx, ghax kienu jghixu barra minn Malta. Mela dawn mhux familja ghandhom ukoll?
