Also, the INE (national institute of statistics in Venezuela) , considers a person is employed if they work at least an hour a week.
I tried finding this on the INE website but I couldn't (a farce this big cannot be made public right?). But I got the fact sometime ago from the most pro-chavez site on the net (aporrea, I can send you the link to the thread)
We also have one of the highest inflation rates (31%) and one of the highest homicide rates in the world.
But hey, if you think that thanks to some (fake) figures from a very very corrupt government, Venezuela under Chavez is great, I invite you to come over and spend a month. Try not to get killed.
Don't get me wrong, I love my country. We have incredible beaches, gorgeous women (two miss universe crowns in a row), excellent climate,oil riches ,etc. But Chavez is quickly driving the country in to the ground. And theres no end in sight because he is going to try to stay in power by any means necessary.
