there is a certain segment of all populations that are unemployable. The philippines contracts out all over the world, sending both skilled and unskilled labor who work very hard for what we americans would call low wages. They are also a country that has less of a welfare system than we, so those who are unemployable are really unemployable, not just lazy like the ones here. Id have to guess less than the 5-7% we have here in the states.

Sorry, all I have in my library is Encarta and the data is listed for 2001. Hey, it%26#039;s a start.

From the WorldBank.org I found this:

2006

Q1 Q2

8.2 8.0

Since the page is titled %26quot;East Asia Update 2006%26quot; there is nothing for Q3 or Q4 nor 2007.

The good news is that for previous periods we have this:

2002 2003 2004 2005

10.2 10.2 10.9 8.0
