Only 48 per cent of the new PRs and 38 per cent of the new citizens are working

Immigration statistics revealed by the Government for the first time showed that, between 2007 and last year, the majority of those granted citizenship and permanent residence were not economically active — with the number of dependents outstripping working individuals. During this period, there were 259,040 new permanent residents (PRs) and 92,310 new citizens. Working individuals accounted for 48 per cent of the new PRs and 38 per cent of the new citizens.

Working as street walkers in GL, in illegal massage parlours and as freelance sex workers so the data was not captured.

I would not believe in this crap. Someone wise said that statistics can be manipulated to show what you want. If you want the truth, take a walk around.

I walked around and everywhere I see more foreigners working than locals with at least 4:1 ratio. If only 38% working, then there is a shit load of foreigners that are out there and it's probably 1 Singapore to every 10 foreigner.
