Interesting statistics hot off the press
Heres a little something from my inbox:
The vehicle sales I already knew about and posted on. The poverty numbers and economic growth are no suprise. Infant mortality and Index of Human Development are very pleasent surprises. And on the individual consumption I can't wait until DATOS comes out and tells us that among classes D and E it was up 25% or so!
The only figure I'm a little skeptical of is the 8.9% unemployment number. I'd like to see more on that.
But all in all theres nothing to say except this news, while not new, is excellent.
