Unemployment up by 75% in the last four years

April 21, 2003

According to the National Institute for Statistics, unemployemnt has increased by 75% in the four years of the Chavez Government. (El Nacional page B-1). This despite the fact that oil income in the first four years of the Chavez Government was 41% higher than in the previous four years in US dollars. I wonder who Chavez will blame for this? The strike? The opposition? The US? The Colombians? Maybe he can just shutdown the Institute……
