A total of 197 million people were without jobs in 2012, with youth being particularly hard hit, and those unemployment figures will increase again this year, according to an International Labor Organization report released Monday. The bulk of the 4 million newly unemployed in 2012 came from developing economies in East Asia, South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, according to the Global Employment Trends 2013 report.

The International Labor Organization, which is a United Nations agency responsible for overseeing international labor standards, made bleak projections of another increase in unemployment worldwide by 5.1 million in 2013 -- which would push the total to 202 million. In 2012, 73.8 million young people were unemployed globally.

"Many young people now experience long-term unemployment right from the start of their labor market entry," said Guy Ryder, ILO Director-General, during a presentation of the report's findings. "When this occurs early on in a person's career, it can do significant damage to their long-term employment prospects."

Although new jobs may open up, they may require different skills than those that match the unemployed workers, according to the report. "Governments should step up efforts to support skills and retraining activities in order to address such mismatches which particularly affect young people," Ryder said. The report advised that the governments should step up efforts to retrain and support job skills to address the differences in work qualifications, with a focus on young people.

A dead in the water economy doesn't create jobs. Even the closet queer can't sprinkle his magical fairy dust to make it otherwise.

Typical, from the New World Order fetishists who think that the guvmint is the answer to all life's problems.

Guvmint IS life's problem.

Of course unemployment rates will rise. The world's economy is slowly - but surely - slipping into a decade-long recession, and dragging us with it, yet the UN continues to feast like a hungry beast on the bones of taxpayers -- ever more hungry and ever more ravenous.

THE HIGHER TAXES GO, THE FEWER JOBS WILL BE AVAILABLE.

If you want less of something, tax it. If you want MORE of something, lower or remove taxes on it.

Rise again? It decreased...? Oops, my bad, I forgot. Those who are no longer looking for work and have expired their unemployment benefits no longer count. At least we have all the currently, and newly unemployed stimulating our economy, right?

[horseman]

No no no no no. Unemployment was extended and that's as good as a job, so once you subtract all the people on unemployment....voila! Obama is a genius.

It's gonna be another great year for young Americans to start their English teaching careers in Asia! You'll get better health care here, too.

And we get $1.76 in economic benefit for every dollar of unemployment spent in the private sector. The unemployed are the engines of the economy!

Sadly, we get $1.76 of economic activity for every dollar taken from the private sector and spent by the Fed Gov. In other words for every dollar the Fed Gov spends it costs us $0.76.

I know I know you were being sarcastic. You can ruin a lib's day by pointing this out.

Everyone knows it's Bush's fault.

Libs don't care about unemployment.

They only want to know where Jug and Wig are going on their next vacation.
