Then you may have to question "lower unemployment is better": for example is the explanation for the France/USA unemployment difference that more USA people have completely given hope of finding a work and are rejected by society?
In the media it's always "super high unemployment in old Europe, super good low unemployment in the USA".
- bovine3dom 6y agoMy hunch is that the USA has low employment due to its terrible healthcare for poor people; I get the impression that people there get sick and then fall out of the labour market permanently. I think we may be consuming different media. The narrative I hear is (prepandemic) "the UK has record low unemployment but this is bad because it is low quality work with high underemployment".
