BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA - MAY 29: A protestor holds a board displaying various Argentine currency bills during a demonstration against unemployment 29 May 2002 near the National Congress in Buenos Aires, as the country's four-year-old economic crisis has driven the jobless rate up to a record 25 percent. Economists announced real wages had hit a 50-year low. Purchasing power was driven down by 21 percent inflation in the wake of a nearly 70 percent devaluation of the Argentine peso and a 35 percent rise in the price of basic foodstuffs. Half of Argentina's 36 million now live in poverty -- in the country that was once Latin America's richest. (Photo credit should read FABIAN GREDILLAS/AFP via Getty Images)
