I don't think that's true. For most countries in Europe unemployment is high in the best of times.
- mjn 13y agoThe countries with corporatist labor systems (non-militant, union/employer consensus decision making) typically have low unemployment and strong economies. Examples: Germany and the Nordics.
- tsotha 13y agoI'm skeptical of those unemployment numbers. Germany, for example, has a worker retraining program for the unemployed. Which is great, as far as it goes. But you don't count as unemployed as long as you're retraining, so it hides the true number of people who don't have a job.
