Yeah i think its a good idea, just have a rolling thread updated once a month, i would definatly look when you update it, i used to forget to look at the other thread, because it just sat there statically (and the lazy administrator of the same thread forgot to update it )
Anyway just looking at some of the figures, im glad the Irish figures arent complete, because each time in the last few years the Economist Magazine have made predictions about growth prospects, employment houseing starts etc, they have been so wide of the mark it has become a national joke over here and widely reported in our media, whilst our local economic pundits get it correct.
On a more serious note the average unemployment rate in Europe is a bit worrying, out of seventeen EU countries listed, 6 have unemployment rates of 10% or more with the average unemployment rate at 8.9%.
And on another note i see the Swedes are going on a spending splurge with retail sales up 8% on last year, oh yeah but i see their unemployment rate is down, must be pent up demand
