European Economy Worse Than Poorest American State!

Maaxx schrieb:
Germany, with the most powerful and largest economy in Europe, currently
has out-of-control unemployment. The current rate of 12.6% is the highest
in 60 years. France's unemployment is also at 10%. Both rates are much
higher than the unemployment in Mississippi, which is the poorest state in
the United States.

This news has caused the Euro's value to tumble against the US Dollar. So
much for European superiority.


don't compare apples with peares.

What are the criterias to get in your statstics and how long are your
unemployeds counted??

Heard about 50% unemployment rates in some parts of your country if you
would use the German system.

You mean like actually recording people who are long-term unemployed and
no longer show up in the statistics?
One reason the German figures shot up this month is that the whole
social security system has been changed as of the beginning of this
year. The statistics for unemployment now include many people who were
previously listed as drawing social security benefits.

1491.

Have the natives been informed?

One doesn't need telling.

You may have your own personal delusions, of course. I never intended to
strip you of that pleasure.

of course the District of Columbia isn't a State.

I believe our worst state for unemployment is Michigan with 7.3%.

The District of Columbia at 9% is higher, the overall rate was 5.5% IRC

Of course they have a leftist Democrat for a governor - so what can you
expect.



Unemployment rates in Europe

Ireland 4.5%
UK 4.6%
Denmark 5.4%
Italy 8.5%
France 9.6%
Germany 9.8%
Spain 10.8%

so italy, france, germany, and spain all have higher unemployment
rates than the highest U.S. State

It would be, if it weren't complete nonsense! I nearly spilled my coffee
from laughter when I read it.
