Details
Submitted by[?]: Pantheism Capitalistic Party UCF
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: August 2448
Description[?]:
Unemployment among our population is rampant. Of the 125 regions with the best employment, non are ours. Amuro is the 130th with 6.38% being our only region in the top half. Kemoku has 7.45% and is the 174th. Somasi is 200th with 8.13% of its citizens interested in working jobless. Hikirena has 8.27% and is 205th. Polran is 263 with 9.82% unemployment. Barring regions with 100.00% unemployment it has the 6th worst employment rate. If thing like this continue we will have a crisis upon our hands. Should a country with a canal and plenty of natural resources deprive its people of jobs? I think it is our duty before the divine to help others. We feel these actions will reduce unemployment. |
