Employment or Unemployment, both connotations have their own stigma attached to them. When you are employed, you are always worries about whether you are going to lose the job you have and while a person is unemployed, he worries whether he will work ever again. But these worries do give rise to the self-employed or the entrepreneur as they now like to call them. Once someone is out of a job for a while, they have to start thinking about making money somehow. That gives rise to new businesses, products and services. That is the way of the world and the more businesses invented in the world gives rise to even more professions.
Counting the unemployment rates in a country has been tricky over the years. There are countries often alter the rules of counting someone without a job and excludes them on technicalities. Then there are governments that falsify unemployment numbers in order to instil confidence in their constituencies. Employment rates however, get a completely different treatment. As it is in their best interests, governments of different countries often try to embellish the number of people that are employed in the country. Still, there is a limit to how much things can be altered or embellished and through publications and media awareness; these discrepancies are slowly but surely reducing. we can clearly see that most of them are nations with best economies
