Some interesting discussion over the last couple of pages.
One thing that kept coming up was the reference to 'those employed, working' spending money on goods made. Working 16 hrs a week on minimum wage doesn't buy you much, but if it helps the GDP why don't we all just work 20hrs a week (with pro rata wage) and cure the unemployment problem
Another suggestion was people earning money but sending/spending it 'back home', which is more prevalent than you'd think.
oh and . .
