Stimulus package has brought jobs to their home provinces, migrant workers can find jobs without going far away from home. In fact, newly opened factories in Guangdong and many other manufacturing hubs have experienced labor shortage earlier this year.

Well when you have a population of over a BILLION people I'm pretty sure many will be unemployed unless they start building a bigger "Great Wall of China" and make it a Casino!

Chinese Communist Party ignored their own citizens. Workers in China are paid at the end of the month or after the contract is completed. Most companies work with cash only. So imagine the hardship.

Wow, the economic effect is global.

Cheers!

where the hell u been living? under a rock?

and whats there to "cheers" about

[JollyGirlinyaface]

I am well aware of the stark economy, I just didn't know how far reaching it was..

There is plent to be cheery about. You have your life, and if you are like most everyone else, you come from a family and perhaps have friends. But most of all you have your LIFE!

Be more positive!

dare I say it: Cheers!

:)

I just lost my job. I don't know how I'm going to pay my rent, let alone eat. Fuck you. Fuck positive. Are you some sort of entitled trust fund brat or what?

Oh yeah, cheers to you too, you fucking nitwit.

[JollyGirlinyaface]

You know. I am in the same position. But I choose to keep positive.

And no, I am not a trust fund baby. I have student loans up the WAZOO. I wish I had a trust fund, but I don't. Have a good day.

Cheers!
