I’m sitting here thinking how bloody lucky I am to be living in Costa Rica when the whole damn world seems to be disintegrating before our eyes…

Looking at the unemployment figures in Europe and the ‘real’ unemployment figures in the U.S., you quickly see how the destruction and ensuing enslavement of the middle class is just about complete…

Meanwhile in this tiny Central American nation, 93% of college graduates find jobs and only 7% of them do not.

IMHO the data supplied by Shadowstats.com is infinitely more reliable than any government source.

Costa Rica is certainly not immune to the global crisis but Costa Rica has held up remarkably well and I am still – after 12 sunny years – thrilled to be living here as a guest in this beautiful little country full of stunning scenery, sunshine, smiles and low unemployment… 🙂
