    “1,000,000 men out of employment”

    Certainly showing it’s age there. You’d never see unemployment statistics announced that way today. Not even sure if this is because of how “men” used to be used to refer to people in a more general way, or because women didn’t make up a significant portion of the workforce (or because they didn’t care about that demographic…)

    “Net loss of gold in exports” too… Usually we see GDP used for that kind of statistic now
