He has a job again, contracts apparently "coming out of his ears", which is good, because until recently he had earned a certain notoriety for not having a job and, more to the point, for the manner in which he went about finding a new one. He drove around Dubai, back in January this year, from the plug-ugly creek to the plug-ugly marina, in his white Porsche, with a sign in the back window saying he wanted a job; vroom vroom he went, gizza job. Scratch scratch scratch went the keys and coins along the side of his car whenever it was parked up.   ... deleted   where the money comes from   GDP in 2007: £23 billion   Trading: 31%   Construction/ Real estate: 22.6%   Financial Services: 11%   Oil/Petrol/Gas: 5.8%   Dubai's foreign debt is well over 100% of its GDP     Annual incomes   Project manager, Construction: £57,576   Project manager, IT: £38,438   IT manager: £33,891   Construction worker: ± £993     Politics and human rights   1 No suffrage   2 Political parties illegal   3 Freedom of association and expression curtailed     The UAE refuses to sign the following treaties:   4 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights   5 International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights   6 Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families   7 Convention against Torture     Crime and punishment   8 Death penalty by firing squad for several offences   9 Death penalty by stoning for adultery     The people   Population (Inc Migrants)   Male 75.5%   Female 24.5%
