- Reporter under pressure to change the subject title and content??? -
"6 in 10 new jobs go to foreigners" to "S'pore adds record number of jobs in 2007, a third filled by foreigners" to "S'poreans and foreigners gain from job boom"

I really find it alarming that such things are happening... Shouldn't reporter report the truth?

Before:

After:

Now:

Reporters get F9 for maths or wat?

How can "6 out of 10 jobs go to foreigner" change to "a third filled by foreigners"???

1st report clearly states that 60% of jobs goes to Foreigners, and Singaporeans only get 40% of the jobs.

2nd report stats "a third filled by foreigners". A third is 33.3% which means Singaporeans gets 66.7% of the jobs.

2 questions:
Where they get their stats from?
How can we trust anymore reports from ST?

This is the statistics by ahgong_hippo of EDMW
“
New jobs: 236,600

Local vs Foreigner: 92,100 vs 144,500

or 38.9% vs 61.1%

6/10 new jobs went to foreigners.

But with creativity, we have,

Total workforce : 2,700,000

Local vs Foreigners: 1,799,200 vs 900,800

or 66.6% (hey 66.6% again!) vs 33.4%

1/3 filled by foreigners.

”

More Good Years ahead!!!
