Iraq Econ Report

Filed under: Economy, Taxes & Government — TBlumer @ 8:02 am

Dumb Looks Still Free has the details. Surprise — The country isn’t falling apart; it’s going in the opposite direction.

My favorite stat: The unemployment rate in Iraq is at 11%, way down from a year ago. That’s basically the same as Germany, whose 10.6% unemployment rate is the lowest in 2 years, and within striking distance of France’s 8.9% (which they’re treating like the Second Coming).

UPDATE: A Jacksonian at DLSF has the latest on the Iraq situation relating to power, water, highways, and much, much, much, much (holy moly, what great work) more.

And a bit more here. Finally tracked down the USACE-RI site… lots of crunchy goodness in numbers there…
