The report indicated, "The stats get even grimmer when you look at the percentage of people holding down a job: According to the KSH, only 54% of those between 15 and 74 are working, and just 61% of those aged 16-64. Meanwhile, nearly half of Hungarian currently on the dole have been looking for work for over a year, while the average length of registered unemployment period is now 17 months."
"It's no wonder we aren't reproducing," grumbled one unemployed ram. "Who feels like romance when the bill collector is at that door?"
Another ram complained, "Hungarian women are high maintenance. All they think about is money. Look at those Gabor sisters! They don't get near a guy unless he's got money to spend on them."
What's most upsetting to farmers and sociologists is that the group least likely to have a job is also the group most likely to reproduce -- those in their early adult years.
One farmer from South Trans-Danubia suggested that the government put age restrictions on jobs, favouring the youngsters until the economic and reproductive crisis is solved.
Mr. Pinter, shown here explaining the situation to sheep herders from the United States, insists that his sheep dating service continues to be the answer to the country's agricultural fiasco.
"If you'll look up that hill," Mr. Pinter told them, "you'll see dozens of eligible ewes vying for the affections of just a few depressed and dejected looking young rams. My online dating service is helping those rams make connections without any pressure. The ewes are initially attracted by personality rather than personal wealth. Once they later understand that the rams are having difficulty finding employment, they tend to be less judgemental."
Mr. Pinter continues to encourage hook-ups via LonelyHungarianSheep.blogspot.com rather than the traditional, more discouraging methods.

Who assimilate hungarians to sheep?who wrote these articles?
This blog exists for the sheer entertainment of a Hungarian man living in Budapest. The articles contained in it are about Hungarian Sheep, and not about Hungarian people. They are not to be considered metaphorical, and do not relate in any way to Hungarian humans, living or dead.No offense is intended, and none should be taken.
Hungarian people are not sheep.
It may interest you to know thta Hungarian Sheep farming is threatened by a low rate of reproductivity amongst the country's sheep. The government, and the sheep breeders are working together to find a solution.
