WHICH IS OVEROPTIMISTIC:
Japanese Now World's Least Optimistic: Pew Survey (JACOB M. SCHLESINGER, 9/10/14, WSJ)
"Optimism about the economy over the next 12 months has nosedived in Japan, where just 15% foresee their economy improving, down from 40% who were hopeful a year ago," the report says.That makes the Japanese the least optimistic of the 44 countries surveyed by Pew, a particularly noteworthy nugget in a document titled "Global Public Downbeat about Economy: Many Wary of the Future."
The 15% must be robots.
