  1. 70% of the people in Guatemala practice subsistence agriculture. They spend all of their time growing their own food. Does this qualify as a job?


  2. CIA World fact book has the following data:

    Labor force:  

    3.958 million (2007 est.)  

    Labor force - by occupation:  

    agriculture: 50%

    industry: 15%

    services: 35% (1999 est.)  

    Unemployment rate:    

    3.2% (2005 est.)  

    Population below poverty line:  

    56.2% (2004 est.)  

    But remember a lot of economical activity in Guatemala takes part in the informal sector.   Stupid government regulations and a overwhelming burocracy make it easier for people to just work within that informal sector.
