Page 9 of 17 This week's ELT will include both relative positions changes (in brackets next to the position) and also percentage changes on the last week so we can now see which are the fastest growing countries in each category. I'm going to be placing more emphasis on workforce and per worker stats as it's generally a better measure of things more relative to the ACTIVE population of the country (it also excludes SOs) but of course it's not a 100% representation of the actual number of active citizens. Some countries will show decreases in unemployment but that's mainly because of inactive citizens dying.
