2. No stats here.

However, everything I've read indicates unemployment is staggeringly high in Iraq (like 50%). That's why people keep signing up as cops and soldiers. Those are the only jobs available.

When you go from a one party fascist dictatorship as existed under Saddam, and then you disband the party, a whole lotta jobs go with it.

There are no trade unions. Unions would have been a competitive power with Saddam.

Parties are in their infancy. It's highly highly unlikely any of them remotely resemble Democrats, however, the theocrats might might resemble the Republicans.
