KingOfSpain 10,010 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 The forum measured the competitiveness of 144 nations based on a dozen categories, including institutions, infrastructure and education. It also looked at such things as market and labor efficiency, technology and innovation. Seriously, how African/Asian countries are more competitive than Greece. http://gagadaily.com/forums/topic/227246-ceremony-gagas-videography-megarate/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
