Monday, December 19, 2005 In 1956 Italy's per capita Gross Domestic Product was less than T&T's. That was before any of our oil booms. Italy's economy is now stagnating, with growth rate for 2005 forecast at zero per cent. T&T is supposedly booming, with a real growth rate of 5.7 per cent; but Italy's per capita GDP is still almost two and a half times greater than ours. Their unemployment rate is 7.8 per cent; ours, despite WASA, URP and CEPEP-style featherbedding, is 10.3%. So what are they doing that we aren't? Working, I suppose. -- Denis Solomon has some trouble with his water supply, in his column in yesterday's Sunday Express. posted by Jonathan | 8:29 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
