To Work? Show Your Certificate of Divorce

(Aug. 21, 2005)Is it crazy? If you want to have a job, you have to be divorced. This is a new policy issued by North China Oil Company (HuaBei You Tian) on August 5th, 2005.

The company has 30,000 unemployed workers, or exactly as "off duty workers". This policy is to give the opportunity who have more difficulty in making a living - divorced are considered so.

After the policy was announced, many workers rushed to divorce, at least "on paper", in order to get the job that pays 430 Yuan/month (about US$ 55). (boxun.com)

This has caught attention from media.

But those who have "divorced" quickly after August 5th may not be able to get the offer as the company stated that only those divorced before August 5th can have the advantage to get a job.

From this event, people should have some idea about the situation in China. Almost all "economists" around the world applaud about "China's economy growth magic". Overseas travellers from China are spending the highest amount per person, exceeding Japanese and American. If economist knows the basic math, he/she should know where the huge money waste comes from - US$70-80 billion/year in casino, $40 nillion/year in officals car usage (China is the few, if not only, countries that government buys luxury imported cars for even town level officials). All these numbers are from official report.

Economists should not be idealist, but they should understand the negative impact on economy if the wealth is allocated unfairly and without any justice. (boxun.com)
