Not a lot today. Good news for some, bad news from the UK. The headlines:
Brazil Creates Jobs for First Time in Four Months — Some people still believe that Brazil can avoid a recession. This is 9,179 votes in agreement.
Taser May Gain Year’s Worth of Sales From Stimulus — 300 potential new jobs trying to arm cops with things that aren’t designed to kill. I personally favor pepper balls, if only for the awesome name.
British Unemployment Rises Most Since at Least 1971 — Things aren’t going well for the British.
Sony Plans U.K. Job Cuts as Part of Global Reduction of 8,000 — … and things are about to get worse.
Safilo to Close Eyewear Factories, Eliminate Jobs, Sole Says — 800 Italian eyewear manufacturing jobs.
This is mixed. I’m still pessimistic about Brazil, but I love getting evidence to prove me wrong. Go Brazil!
