There should be 0% unemployment. The vacancies in the army is more than enough to give employment to every sinhalese in SL.

Why are they not joining the SLDF?

Definitely job opportunities will go up because those who got more marks in A/L for the sake of being Tamils, and got their bogus degrees, have left the country on bogus refugee status. So we have our due place. We have to send remaining lot out of the country.

If GOSL spends more than half its revenue on the gov. sector that must make the gov. secror even better than the Miliatary. But that dose not seem to be the case.
So where is all that money? Maybe we must check the GOSL, MR's home and the homes of his family, brothers, friends, relatives and business and criminal attitude.

Most of it must been deposited in some off shore banks world wide.

GOSL has been fooling the cpuntry for so long with crap statistics called Punnakku and the dumb , morons of Sinhala descent. The best part is they believe MR's holy words

I know of a batch of 26 graduates who were absorbed into government service in 2005. They were assigned to a office but there were no furniture for them. They had no specific work programme or tasks. They just signed the attendence register and spend the rest of the day chatting, etc, sitting under a mango tree. After abut six months, they thought of doing some thing; they asked 'gramasevaka' officers to prepare plans for the next five years. Even 'gramasevakas' are underemployed because their role has been diluted by 'samurdhi' officers. In trun, Samurdhi officers work has also been partly assigned to divisional secretaries. So, as anyone can see, it led to a lot of confusion. Eventually, the employed (but unproductive)26 graduates, to satisfy their superiors, made a lot of vesak lanterns for the vesak in may 2006.

They are still sitting under the same mango tree until Vesak in 2007.
