Not enough of this around, says ILO
Geneva, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – Unemployement levels in G-20 countries would be between 29 and 43 percent higher without the economic stimulus packages put in place by most governments following the economic crisis unleashed by the fall of investment bank Lehman Brothers one year ago, the International Labour Organization (ILO) announced today 21 September. The ILO still foresees the number of unemployed globally at between 219 and 241 million people, an increase of between 39 and 61 million unemployed.
