I'm sure we all know what was meant. Pedantry becomes you - not! :PThe word is "losing" and it is spelt with one o.
Hanafin is a joke, she was demoted to this job and hasn't even a clue about reading stats.
Varadkar has given her his pennies worth in a press release issued this morning.
How bad is it that in a crisis, our Minister doesn't even know how bad things are??

I certainly did know what was meant but it is an awful annoyance to see this mis-spelling constantly appear on internet discussion boards. It needs to be stamped out.I'm sure we all know what was meant. Pedantry becomes you - not! :PThe word is "losing" and it is spelt with one o.

You should be aware that losing is a different word to loosing
Long-term unemployment as measured by the Quarterly Labour Force Survey (published on the 5th of June) increased from 25,800 in the first quarter of 2007 to 27,800 in the first quarter of 2008, a year-on-year increase of 7.8%

And her contention that people signing on for pension entitlements/credits are not unemployed is wrong.
Payments are means tested i.e working spouse means signing on for credits but seeking work therefore unemployed.
And who believes there will be a return return to growth in 18 months since most of the growth was due to the property bubble.
I wonder if she isn't letting slip out what is the prevelant mindset of the government in this day and age. Long term unemployemnt for those that matter is falling in the long term - i.e. the middle and upper wage earners. The poor sops losing their jobs in record numbers really don't matter anymore. Shop assistants, factory workers, and construction crews can be imported into Ireland at ever cheaper wage rates, and almost within one or two days notice. Viewed this way, we are not really experiencing long term unemployment but shifting migration patterns of the sub-optimal native and foreign wage earner.
