Just a quick glance:

http://www.hrmguide.co.uk/jobmarket/...employment.htm

Is 5.2% unemployment in 2006 bad?

Is a tremendously strong euro and a weak dollar bad?

Foreign countries and markets abandoning the dollar for the euro, is that bad for them?

For a financial guy, I think you are stuck in the 80s.
