-The notion that EPZs (when I use the term Economic Processing Zone, consider it to mean Free Trade Zone, Industrial Free Zone, or any similar term) have increased employment substantially is false. Sure, the number of total jobs may have increased, but the effect on the national figures of joblessness are not significantly increased, save for a few extreme examples. In other words, yes, jobs are created. But are they the right jobs?

Am I the only one who finds this quote mind-boggling? Number of jobs has increased but the number of unemployed stays the same? Huh? Even if new graduates get those jobs (not people previously unemployed) does that not mean total number of jobless people will not increase? Anyway, numbers of people entering workforce is (almost) negated by numbers of people who retire.
And finally, what do you mean by `right` jobs?
