two jobster classes compared

  usa and france

comparing 
average jobster to average jobster :

  we produce  13% more  
         net output  "value"  per annum

  they jobble  26% fewer hours  per annum 


                 u choose the set up you'd prefer 


===============================================


 
 caution  ladies and gentlemen:

this is not to say
frenchy  earns  13% less per annum

of course not 

she  may be subject
 to a larger  (or  for that matter smaller )
         average  rate 
              of profit extraction 

we're told ad nauseum
  the french  rate of unemployment is  higher

we have no grasp of the comparative size 
of the two informal job sectors of course 

nor  the two nation's 
  comparative participation rates

or demographic composition  

as with all things

we hoi have to dig for the handful of bed rock facts

despite a river 
of 
 corporate press accounts

they all 
provide only a  scatter of factual threads 
  prefering to weave
 the rest  of the story's fabric
  out of  melodrama inducing
   boo hoo or eh gosh gas 

 and sky hooks  of course

always
 the tale must hang from sky hooks 

suspended over something horrific 
 drawn ...u know ..

 from the usual cook  book  
          of  innocent damzelles 
                     and escape artist's   perils
