According to the CIA factbook thingy, unemployment rates (which I guess would be for 2006) are as follows in some relevant nations (this is just FYI):
USA: 4.8% (anything under 5% would be kindof "not too bad" IMO)
UK: 2.9%
Sweden: 5.6%
France 8.7% (I'd heard this year it might've been touching 10, actually, quite bad)
Spain 8.1%
Austria: 4.9%
Germany: 7.1%
Ireland: 3.9%
Italy: 7%
Poland: 15%
Turkey: 10.2%
Greece: 9.2%
Romania: 6.1%
Russia: 6.6%
Czech Republic: 8.4%
Ukraine: 6.7%
Serbia: 20.8% (this is from 2005, and I guess is due to the aftermath of the Kosovo war; apparently unemployment in Kosovo, which I think is included in Serbia for this calculation, during this period was 50%)
Croatia: 14%
Canada: 6.4%
No real major patterns I can see. Countries with recent wars are obviously high, and, in general, Eastern Europe seems worse than Western Europe, although some of the ex-soviet nations (Russia etc) aren't bad at all. Poland seems the main bad one in Europe.
Comparatively speaking, the USA, UK and Sweden all have pretty low figures it seems.
What is Sweden doing about the suffering in Darfur?
