I overheard an American in the train today. He was apparantly working for Cisco systems and talking about the unemployment figures from America. He was sad to see a lot of small stores going away in Manhattan and such.

I also kind of praised the Dutch unemployment numbers. 3-4%. You can't fire people on a whim here which accounts for a very low unemployment rate.

That is because Manhatten doesn't have its shit together.  They say oh what the hell lets tax the people and corps to generate revenue for NYC while companies like Cisco are packing up and leaving.  They should be cutting the tax on these major industies and employers so they can keep some big biz there.  This esp hits home in the IT sector which Cisco fits in.
