The worrying thing is that unemployment in Iraq is likely actually to get
even worse in January. The longer mass unemployment continues, the more this
tends to discourage foreign investment.

We would be greatful if some of you more knowledgeable
savants on this List would be good enough to explain what
the agenda of David Brooks might be, and why, in his
description (in his 12/27/03 N.Y. Times column) of
Michael Oakeshott as a big thinker who is one of the

There was an odd little news bit in the business section of the local
paper. ATT has frozen the pay for one year of its 43,000 managers (my
scare quotes). It goes on to say that ATT has about 64,000 workers.
The numbers seem bizarre. Two managers for every 3 workers?

Carroll's figures seemed off to me also. ATT is disappearing quickly.
Here is some unformatted data. The figures represent data for the years:
1993
1994
1995
1996
(approx.)
Management/Professional
149,515
145,884
151,224
N/A
Occupational
162,677
153,195
Not that bizarre. I'm a moron at research, but the very large company I
work for (Sun is shining...Weather is sweet...Makes me want to
move...) has about seven layers of management on top of the grunts
(me). Lots of managers.
