Unemployment rates by country

David F Mayer — 1/6/2004 6:16:38 PM (archived)

Check this out:

Standardised Unemployment Rates, Various Countries, 1991-2000

Unemployment rates(%) in various countries, 2003

Some samples:
France -- 9.10
Belgium 7.20
Denmark -- 5.10
Gaza Strip -- 50.00 (Yes, the Intifada is working just fine in Gaza.)
Germany -- 9.80
Korea, South -- 3.10
Netherlands -- 3.00
Sweden -- 4.00
Switzerland -- 1.90
United Kingdom -- 5.20
United States 5.80
Vietnam -- 25.00 (Communism is such an economic wonder.)
West Bank -- 50.00 (Yes, the Intifada is working just fine here too.)

Note especially France and Germany, our two greatest critics.

EU: Regional unemployment rates range from 2.0% to 29.3%
