Re: European Unemployment
(

Great guns, TG! This is a fine contribution to a better historical understanding of unemployment in European countries, and far removed from the usual propaganda narrative.
Could you give a little more explanation of what's meant by the "tax wedge"?
Thanks for this diary.

The "tax wedge" is the difference between what firms pay to employ workers and what workers actually receive as take-home pay. The "wedge" is created by things like payroll taxes for unemployment insurance, pensions, and other social programs.
