Why the ipad is fragrant outside the wall

Apple CEO Steve Jobs ⊙ liangmin 0 editor Zhu Xian Apple CEO Steve Jobs said a week ago, the company's latest ipad market sales reached 450,000.　　There is also a news that the famous online trading platform ebay said that nearly 80% of ebay's buyers from outside the United States, there is a buyer bid 5500 U.S. dollars, 10 times times the price of 499 dollar entry-level ipad.　　The news explains two: one is to prove how popular the ipad is in international markets, and that jobs has not betrayed the expectations of fans, and that, in some ways, consumer demand outside the US is significantly stronger than in the US. Why has Apple not released its own products overseas? Why is the ipad fragrant outside the wall?　　Perhaps the U.S. employment data can explain everything.　　In the United States, non-farm payrolls and first-time jobless claims have been the most important economic indicators since the financial crisis. Figures released last week by the Labor Department showed that for the first time since November 2007, the jobless population had seen a big increase of March, with unemployment at 9.7%. The market has reason to believe that the US job market is indeed recovering and has escaped the fate of unemployment rising to 12%. The data released in Thursday then turned the solid argument into a "beautiful lie". Data show that the United States for the first time jobless claims increased unexpectedly, as of April 3, the first application for unemployment benefits increased by 18,000 people, to 460,000 people.　　Economists at the Labor Department blamed the bad data on the Easter holidays, pointing to a good sign that the number of persistent jobless claims fell to its lowest level since December 13, 2008. But as an American analyst said in the report, the March employment figures may seem good on the surface, but they are far from reflecting the many remaining recessions in the job market. One of the recessions is that the average U.S. hourly wage has dropped two cents, down 0.1% from last month. In fact, it was a rare event in any month to see payroll shrinkage, last in April 2003, when the US economy was in the middle of an economic cycle.　　The decline in average hourly wages suggests that structural changes in the US economy will not soon be reversed, that unemployment remains high and that the American people will not be able to successfully regain the good days of a steady rise in living standards. Remember the 1997 Asian financial crisis in a popular phrase, an industry has been "fired", in fact, a professional term to summarize this phenomenon is "structural unemployment." Structural unemployment refers to the unemployment caused by market competition or the change of production technology.　　Now, structural unemployment is a reality that cannot be neglected in the U.S. job market. According to the American Economic Cycle Institute (ECRI), the proportion of people who have been unemployed for less than five weeks in this recession is extremely low, lower than at any other stage in the last century. It is inferred that this may indicate a strong demand in some sectors of the economy that require difficult technology, but a large number of construction and manufacturingWorkers may no longer see the level of demand before the recession, and they may be permanently unemployed, even if they are back in employment, often shrinking or working in completely unrelated areas. Ten years ago, Apple launched its ipod with a red, almost one American, and now when wages are low and even jobs are not insured, the ipad's myth that it wants to replicate the ipod is difficult because there is a logic in economic activity that the first thing to consume is spending power.
