Rats abandoning ship in Greece
August 12, 2010 12:32 pm Economics and FinanceThis isn’t surprising given the previous behaviour of civil servants in Greece.
Aug. 12 (Bloomberg) — More than 11,000 Greek state-school teachers have asked to retire before changes are made to the pension system, raising the threat of a shortage of educators for the new school year.
A total of 11,466 elementary and high-school instructors applied for retirement, the Athens-based Education and Religious Affairs Ministry said in a statement yesterday. That compares with 4,355 at the same time last year.

It’s a lot worse than this even. I have a cousin that married a Greek national and lived in Athens for years. Guess what? They are all in the process of coming to Canada as the good times are over in Greece. Expect a lot more of this as millions could exit Greece for greener pastures at a time when they need people to earn income and prop up the economy there.
