Jerome, tha latest chart is not the cost per unemployed person, but the cost per person of state programs assisting the unemployed (and early retirement which is a way for companies to lay off their workers and have the State pick up the tab).

Putting together those costs per person with the active/inactive/unemployed population statistics we should be able to calculate a cost per inactive/unemployed person, and a cost per active person.

Nothing is 'mere'. — Richard P. Feynman

You're right, thanks.
