Right, so a direct comparison of the unemployment rates is problematic.

Re: EU unemployment is a problem. (none / 0)
Why? Unemployment measures the number of people looking for work. If you mean that the labour participation has risen from (guessing) 45% to 70% that's true but not directly relevant. It's one factor certainly: there are far more people in work now than in the 60s.

Welcome aboard by the way,
