Wikipedia is written by individuals so who knows, maybe when they kicked you and your clan of gypsies out they yelled, Ho-ray we are all wealthy and the cooks, butlers, maids and chauffeurs are all employed. Now we have no unemployment!

Somehow, I thing these tax havens like Lichtenstein, Monaco and Andorra do not have much unemployment.

My source is the CIA, (see 2nd link). What's yours?

From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andorra

"Andorra has one of the world's lowest unemployment rates, with the statistics on June 2009 showing almost 0% unemployment within the country.

But it doesn't have a lower unemployment rate than Monaco.
