JET ROI: Japan Times runs AP article about JET

Return on JET-vestment Comments Off on JET ROI: Japan Times runs AP article about JET

Better late than never.

For some reason Japan Times just ran the AP article about JET…..nearly 2 weeks after it initially appeared in the Washington Post, LA Times, etc.  And it’s the first article in the online edition for the moment:  http://www.japantimes.co.jp (Here’s a more permanent link to the article:  http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nn20100811f1.html)

While the additional attention from the article is welcome, it actually does not do a great job of giving readers a way to determine which side of the debate to support.  For a better sense of why the JET Program and JETAA are no-brainers in terms of the return on investment for Japanese taxpayers, read here:  http://jetwit.com/wordpress/2010/07/29/jet-roi-washington-post-and-atlanta-journal-constitution-run-ap-article-on-jet/

Also read some of the comments to Jim Gannon’s “Chopping Block” article:  http://jetwit.com/wordpress/2010/07/03/jet-roi-jet-program-on-the-chopping-block-by-james-gannon/
And of course read any and all of the JET ROI (Return on Investment) posts:  http://jetwit.com/wordpress/category/jet-roi/
