Werkloosheid blijft stijgen

| Life in Holland

Here's something I happened to read the other day in a Dutch periodical:

"De stijging van de werkloosheid houdt voorlopig nog niet op. Het Centraal Planbureau heeft beraamd dat in 2004 de werkloosheid op zal lopen naar zo'n 540 duizend mensen. Dit is een verdubbeling met het aantal van drie jaar geleden."

Translated into English the best I can:

"The increase in unemployment is still not abating. The Central Bureau of Statistics has estimated that in 2004 unemployment will increase up to around 540 thousand people. This is a doubling of the number three years ago."

Something to look forward to you could say. What now?
