    Japanese job seekers hold Tokyo pep rally

    With cheerleaders shouting encouragement, more than 1,000 young Japanese trying to break into the job market have held a pep rally in Tokyo to highlight what officials say is the bleakest employment outlook Japan has faced in years.

    About 1,500 college students crowded into a park on Tuesday to offer each other moral support and appeal for jobs at the rally, which they hoped would put the national spotlight on the difficulties job seekers are dealing with in Japan's once-mighty economy.

    A record one-third of Japanese university students graduating this spring have not found jobs, according to a recent survey by the labor and education ministries.

      Enough with the college degrees already. What the world needs now are skill trades like welding, plumbing, machinists and general laborers.

      You know why Japanese and American can't find jobs? It all went to China and India. They should occupy their "Wall Street" equivalent just like the 0.0099%ers. Sure, that is going to help.

      First thing you're taught on a Finance course is that Debt is good. I don't see why the most indebted nations, the "developed world" should have a problem. I wonder what would happen if all of the sudden third world countries decide the dollar, yen and euro are toiler paper. Too bad they are all disunited.

      Divide an conquer works all the time.

      Not understanding how this could be as the dim witted american companies shipped all the jobs from america over there during and after the "wrecking reagan" years. You have all our important jobs as retarden made this the service industry capital of the world, a far cry from what we once were, the manufacturing capital due to his nazi wanna be tactics to line the pockets of his inbred family !!
      One day we will all be declared stupid as we will have to wait for other countries to ship every thing here as we wont be able to make it ourselves !!
      Wait till the big war starts and you will see !!

      I'm pretty sure this 'pep-rally' is what we'd call a protest.

      A: The answer to that question is still unanswered.
