France currently has about an equal unemployment rate because we are in one of the worst economic downturns ever.

Which proves my point actually.

If you look at France they tend to have a consistant 8-10% unemployment rate.

For the US. 8 to 10 percent unemployment rates are horrific... the US is usually around 4%.

When we pull out of the economic downturn.  Our employment rate will drop back down... there's will stay up.
