Chapter 681: The rich only benefit themselves, while the poor help the world.

If there's one major change 1927 brought to the nation, it would be the incessant growth in industrial jobs due to the relocation of thousands of companies to Australasia.

For the whole world, which was then suffering from an economic crisis, the shift in jobs affected not just the number of enterprises and the economy, but also the continuously inflowing and outflowing population.

The job prospects in Australasia naturally drew large numbers of Europeans and Americans, leading to an insanely high population growth in 1927.

Arthur had thought that the net population growth of 2.71 million from the year before last was already crazy enough, only to find last year's population increase astonishingly exceeded 2.81 million.

What does this represent? Last year's population growth in Australasia was equivalent to more than one-third of the Dutch population.
