Unemployment Around the World

I don't understand how you can put forth the argument that job loss isn't a big deal? Many of the people who are losing their jobs aren't qualified to work in the tech field (manufacturing workers), and the service jobs they can get don't pay as well.

How is not a big deal if a lot of the new job creation is for lower paying jobs, and (for the moment) the economy is shedding jobs?

I don't get your argument.

User - I think Micro businesses sounds good, and I admit it can help some folks. BUT I don't think it's feasible as a broad band solution for everyone, just think of it: if you had several million competitors with the very same web site you're running, you wouldn't make very much money.

Considering the failure rates of entrepreneurs in general and the competition introduced if "everyone does it", I just don't think it's a broadband solution.
