After spending a vacation in Singapore less than a year ago, I have come to admire their economy and immigration laws. They have low business taxes. No food stamps...zero! No unemployment compensation...zero!
So every working age adult has a job. Guess what their unemployment rate is? It is MINUS 40%. For those in Rio Linda that means they have 40% more jobs than working age citizens. High Tech industry is flourishing.
Those 40% excess jobs which citizens of Singapore do not particularly care for, are filled by importing foreign workers on 2 year work visa’s. After 2 years they are required to go back and apply again. Extremely few of these foreign workers cause trouble because then they are permanently barred for future jobs in Singapore.
Singapore is a mixed population of Chinese, Indians, and Arabs, with a few British left over from colonial era. Every sixth Singapore citizen is a millionaire. The infrastructure such as airport, hospitals, underground hiways, ocean cruise ships terminal etc make ours in USA look like third world. College education ts merit based and subsidized to citizens.
Singapore’s healthcare system is considered to be one of the best in the world.
