Employment
Defending jobs
ONE of the biggest headaches for policymakers in many rich countries has been how to create jobs during a period of fiscal austerity and anaemic growth. The private sector has been slow to generate jobs, and government-spending cuts usually end up cutting jobs. And governments employ a lot of people: in our chart of the ten biggest global employers, below, seven are government-run. America's defence department had 3.2m people on its payroll last year, equivalent to 1% of the country's population. China, the world's most populous nation and a big military spender, employs 2.3m people in its armed forces. And the number of people working for the National Health Service in England is equivalent to over 2.5% of the country's population. The three private companies are Walmart, McDonald's and Taiwan's Hon Hai Precision Industry Company, a subsidiary of which is Foxconn, a secretive electronics manufacturer.

So, Hon Hai through Foxconn builds Iphones. And people wonder why Iphones are the most vulnerable computer technology in the world presently. But, also the most easy and intuitive to use for the average person. Even I have an IPhone 5S because it is so easy to use. However, one must also understand the whole world is listening to everything you say or do on smartphones whether they are Iphones, Androids, or Windows Phones or whatever. Not understanding how vulnerable smartphones actually are and still using one is sort of like shooting yourself and your whole family and friends in the foot with a gun.
