    If you say that the unemployment rate is dropping primarily because of job creation in Ireland as opposed to mass emigration then yes you'd be spoofing.

    34,000 jobs created
    33,000 net emigration in last 12 months. Many of these were not in workforce eg stay at home husbands/wives and children. So unemployment is falling primarily due to job creation (just about).

    We are in a better place than 3/4 years ago. Back then employment levels were falling (quickly) and at the same emigration was high. The increase in unemployment has stopped and is now reversing. This is surely a good thing.

    Hitting rock bottom is not a better place than on the way to hitting rock bottom.

    ?

    Think we have hit rock bottom and are on the way up again... That's what the figures say to me anyhow. It's takes (a long) time to come back to where we were considering the fall the itish economy took.

    That's "rock bottom" in the sense of "I only had a quarter of a fridge full of food left, so starvation loomed", is it?
