Fair enough. Let's look at the number of employed people in the EU and the US over time. IIRC, the US has a better first derivative. (The US has fewer people, so the total number workers in the EU may be larger.) Of course, one can have biz that don't require employees. And maybe one or both can't find employees for the biz that they have/want.
