Canadian and European Unemployment

Carpe Diem points out that, while Canada is celebrating a 30-year low unemployment rate of %6.1 places it behind 47 of the 50 states in the Union. Also, if European countries like Belgium (8.2%), France (8.6%), Germany (8%), Spain (8.4%) were added as U.S. states they would each rank #51 with the highest unemployment rates in the U.S., behind Mississippi (7.5%).
