    Canada is the other one that get's mentioned along with Australia usually but it really depends on your qualifications, experience and whether or not you speak any languages other than English and Irish.

    North Korea? 100% employment.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    According to the CIA world factbook, Monaco has a 0% unemployment rate. But it's not a country. Belarus and Qatar are your best bet OP.

    I read that Australia is on a huge property bubble and their prosperity is fleeting.

    Sound familiar?

    I've been on the dole that long now, they invite me to their staff parties. It's a joke. I guess I'll just live and die on it at this stage.

    There are usually a few jobs going in Greenland like wrapping presents and stuff around this time of year to be fair :cool:

    You might die on it but you certainly won't live on it... survive maybe.

    You should go into politics, no minimum educational requirement.
    It has great expense and pension benefits. Downside, you do have to a compulsive liar.

    Can't see it happening. If you don't like the LC, look up the LC Applied. It's the LC, but another way of doing it. I think a few people who didn't do the LC end up doing the LC applied.

    If they learn that you've no qualifications, they'll rip you apart to make them look better.

    Some of those microstates have 100% employment. Though, that's not hard when you have less than 10 citizens.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭jester77


    Lots of jobs here, I see lots of posters in windows on the way home from work. Around 50 positions available where I work and we are struggling to find people with RoR and Perl experience.

    Lapland probably offers better options in this field.

    The all important word. Most people want to work in X without Y, where in most cases Y equals experience.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,137 ✭✭✭44leto


    There is only one place continent on Earth with full employment and its very well paid as well. The Antarctic, go for it OP.

    Largely that is what is different about this depression and the one in the 80s. We had options, we could go to London, America or the continent. Now it is all grim everywhere.

    No excuse for not having experience. There are 1000's of open source projects that you can contribute to and you can easily create your own. If anything this looks better than work experience as it shows you have an interest and passion for what you do.
