A recuperação irlandesa

The latest employment figures, por Kevin O'Rourke, em The Irish Economy:

“So, we hear Ireland is recovering”, a French friend said to me last night.

(Mind you, they said something similar in the summer of 2010. Our government has an incentive to sell the Irish good news story, and “Europe” has an incentive to buy it.)

So, here are the latest employment data, reporting the largest seasonally adjusted quarterly fall in employment in two years, and which surely deserve a thread of their own.
[Pesquisando na internet, é relativamente fácila encontrar artigos escritos no Verão de 2010, antes da intervenção do FMI, com notíciais iguais às que se leram no Verão deste ano: "A Irlanda já está a sair da crise"]
