Two interesting charts...

[eek]

Well false modesty never really helped anybody
Judging by most of the comments on this thread, it's clear why so many of you in IT are being bobbed - the barriers to entry are low.

Bobbed? I don't think AtW or myself can be bobbed (we both are self employed with growing business).

AtW has a unique and niche product. You on the other hand charge money to Russian sailors down at the docks to take it up the 'arris. Once Suity cannot afford his car replacements, you'll be replaced.

I don't know how they are counting these figures but I do not believe for one second that long term unemployed was ever as low as 1.2% in the UK

Its possible to get a figure of that level. Once you throw anyone who is over x months unemployed on a training course and restart the ticker.

For the hard of thinking such as Sas its the subset of economics that uses mathematical formulas and statistics to create or confirm economic models.

My econometrics text book says it is "...the application of economic theory, mathematics and statistics for the purpose of testing hypotheses and estimating and forecasting statistical phenomena. ....it has become strongly identified with regression analysis" [their emphasis].

Seems to me from your comments that you didn't know SW is a core tool of econometrics, since you said "why would you bother with that when you can show you the reasons with the econometric models to prove it.."

But do keep digging.

Ho many employees do you have?

God you really are thick. Thanks for proving it.

Go back to your sums Sas, maybe you can make those numbers seem more believable than your so-called brains.

You haven't got a frigging clue what you are talking about, do you? What do you think a stepwise regression results in?

A mental age of three?

At least neither of us had to move to the other end of the world to find a company willing to employ someone with your deep rooted character flaws.

Yes I ought to. I'm not paid this rate to sit here chatting to morons like you ...

My god sas is a cretin.
