Well, one of the problems of this country is the lack of population. Obviously you don´t know El Chaco or San Luis.
I have been there this weekend by car, so I have a first hand idea of how is it.
While California has 38 million people, el Chaco has 1.There is more work than people. It doesn t mean that it is quality work, the harvest of the sugar is made with machetes, so they need a lot of people. I translate this: they don´t use machinery for the sugar harvest, people do it with big knives (machetes).

While California has 400.000 Km2, Chaco has 99.000 Km2. If you put proportionally the population of California in the Chaco territory, then you have 10 million people.
So, zero unemployment at Chaco means nothing. It only shows the lack of population. Buenos Aires province is something different.
By the way, I mentioned that they have low quality employment: they work under the table, without medical insurance for about 1000 pesos a month.
I pick up one of those guys on the road because he was walking back home to Santa Fe from Chaco. He was blind of one eye because a Yarara snake bited him while he was working when he was 12. The poison of Yarara destroy your eyes before killing you.
So, as I usually say, if you are going to critize, do it properly.
