Re: The frogs do it better
8.7% The unemployment benefit is 50% of your previous salary, effectively more as lower tax rate kicks in. Thus many people are unemployed not against their will. Similarily, if US would have these benefits what would some people do? (hint = wouldnt want to go to work)
People who still like to go to work, like me, also love the system as they dont have to worry about being laid off. Peace of mind. Good thing.
This also works, the European economy grows currently faster than that of the US. Euro currency just hit the all time high against the dollar. On top of this our women are more generous if you know what I mean.
