E for employment

As the Japanese economy continues to struggle, finding oneself suddenly out of work is a distinct possibility. And should this unfortunate situation arise, you’ll find yourself down at the Hello Work office.

Yes, as serious a situation as unemployment is, the place dealing with benefits and charged with helping you back into gainful employment has the comedy name hello work.

How on earth did they come up with this name?

    May be “Hello Work” will enable prospects to find the right work place with lots of “Hello (office) Kitties?”

    Sex seems to be a driving factor of Japanese economy.

    Just one of those hunches, you know…

    Cheers!
