| Kasz216 said: 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%. |
Actually it proves my point,
The reason in the US its horrific, is because there are limited safety nets for people unemployed, when you're out of work in the US you're pretty much on your own, not so in france, ironically this also shows that the US economy is much more volatile, even in a recession France remains relatively stable, while the US goes through periods of booms and busts
