Another 120,000 people living on $1500 a month--if they're lucky. Congratulations Israel!
6. UnemploYMENT down
millicent ,   Israel   (07.24.08)
So then how do you explain the increasing numers of people begging in the streets,along major intersections;or the increased numbers of people dumpster diving behind my local supermarket? The increasing numbers of people collecting bottles and cans to return to the supermarkets for money(these people are scavanging). If there really are more people employed then why have the numbers of beggers increased and the lines out side Betuiah Leumi gotten longer?

Israeli ,   Israel   (08.19.08)
With over 20,000 leaving Israel every year for greener pastures and articles about the "brain drain", this is no surprise.
9. Better jobs for Haredim
Sigal ,   USA   (08.21.08)
Why can't the Haredim in Israel be a part in the workforce as in any other country where they live? Here in the US the Haredi communty is pretty well off. I think the problem for the haredim in Israel is the miletary draft. In witch they will never take a part
