Unemployment way down in Venezuela
According to the Wall Street Journal unemployment in Venezuela has dropped dramatically from last year. Unemployment, which had been well over 20% at the hieght of the strike that the opposition lead in an attempt to overthrow Chavez, has now dropped to less than 15%. It is quite amazing how well the Venezuelan economy does when the opposition is not actively trying to sabotage it.
