  And then this is not a union either: http://www.ncsl.org/issues-research/labor/state-unemployment-update.aspx http://www.ncsl.org/issues-research/labor/state-unemployment... The difference between unemployment in North Dakota and Puerto Rico is 4 fold, not that different from Austria vs. Greece. Also, the figures for Greece are the February figures. The largest industry in Greece, tourism, takes off right about now, and last year on the beach in Greece there were plenty of young Greeks working the beaches, bars and hotels. But of course, many of these jobs are unofficial so they may continue to count as unemployed.

    I don't know as much about how the USA works as a union but, no, it sure doesn't look like a union either. :) But they are not threatening to kick California out of the US if it doesn't pay its debts, right? As for tourism, yes, it's going to be slightly reduced in July, but do you think it's nice to wait for 3-4 months to work? Also, they are going to vote for an austerity measure to give seasonal workers an unemployment aid not every year but every two years. At the same time a former minister of defence, who is jailed for corruption scandals, is receiving two pensions every month.
