Comments on: Pillaging Makes A Comeback, Threatens 2009 http://www.argentinepost.com/2008/12/pillaging-makes-a-comeback-threatens-2009.html Information & Insight on Argentina Sun, 05 Feb 2012 17:45:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: ArgentinaFails http://www.argentinepost.com/2008/12/pillaging-makes-a-comeback-threatens-2009.html#comment-2039 ArgentinaFails Wed, 06 May 2009 18:39:37 +0000 http://www.argentinepost.com/?p=856#comment-2039 Official product inflation in Argentina is 10% but real product inflation is 22%. The Argentinean government does not only fake inflation values but also unemployment rate values. When they say 7% of unemployment it means that the real value is about 12%. Since the global economy right now cannot help any first nor third world country, and also Argentinean presidents keep heavy-taxing exports, companies are really having a hard time employing people and selling products outside the country which is one of the main reasons that Argentinean unemployment is always high and growing. The last but not least reason that unemployment will keep rising in Argentina is because presidents of Argentina are rising minimal wages to a point that a company cannot hire more than a half of people that the company really needs because they don't have all that money to waste in unskilled labor force such as the Argentinean one. So instead of hiring 2000 employees they hire 500 and make them work like they were 2000 so you have 1500 more unemployed people with no earnings at all and 500 people that are always super busy and get a first world country wage... But i bet that those 500 employed ones don't share their salary with the other 1500 unemployed people... Argentina used to be the riches country in Latin America. Now it's already becoming one of the poorest not only in Latin America but also in the whole World. Official product inflation in Argentina is 10% but real product inflation is 22%.

I'll remain skeptic until I see details of data collection, sources, definitions, etc... This is no criticism to you, but in general not many people look into those details, unless it's Indec (which I agree that should be closely monitored by the media and public). But private producers are given a free-pass and many times the quality of their data is very poor. thanks taos.

They'll be better able to answer your questions than I. Looks like I posted this on Dec. 29, so the report would have come out either that day or a day or two before that. Cheers, Taos You should just call NM and ask them for the details. They’ll be better able to answer your questions than I.

NM is the source. They send reports to me as a journalist, and this is one I thought would be a interesting for readers of the Post. Good question about what qualifies as a saqueo. Unfortunately, I don't remember the details. If I have any free time, I'll see if I can find the report and take a look. Cheers, Taos Hi Dani,

What's the source? How do they collect data? The number for 2001 seems grossly overestimated. What is counted as a saqueo? I couldn’t find the report in the nueva mayoria website. What’s the source?
