'Steve Jobs took our jobs,' says Finnish prime minister Alexander Stubb

Finnish Prime Minister said (or accused, as Financial Express used this term) in a interview with Swedish financial newspaper Dagens Industri. , that Steve Jobs "crushing his Nordic country's job market by selling innovations that caught Finland's companies off guard", Financial Express reported.

"We had two pillars we stood on: one was the IT industry, the other one was the paper industry," Stubb told Swedish financial newspaper Dagens Industri.

"Nalle Wahlroos, president of (Swedish bank) Nordea, described it quite well when he said the iPhone knocked out Nokia and the iPad knocked out the forestry," accelerating the fall of paper demand.

Stubb became prime minister at the end of June with an economy struggling to recover from two years of recession. Only timid growth is expected in 2014.

"Yes, Steve Jobs took our jobs, but this is beginning to change," Stubb said.

Unfortunately you have to subscribe to the newspaper's website to read the whole article....

But another site, PatentlyApple, posted a snippet of the interview, that said was from the newspaper...

Q: After the financial crisis of 2008, the country has not recovered.

A: "We had two pillars that we supported us. Winnie Wahlroos have described it pretty well when he said that the iPhone struck down Nokia and the iPad hit the forest industry."

Q: So Steve Jobs struck Finland?

A: "Yes, Steve Jobs took our jobs," said Alexander Stubb.

At least we have cash grab mobile games now. We might not make the best mobile phones anymore but we know how to milk money with in-app purchases! :)

Sorry to all the Fins, but this is just mental, coming from a politician... Something I would have expected from the Tea Party cuz they like making completely irrational comments like that.
