19. I should have clarified, I was speaking of the EU,

more specifically France and Germany which have UE rates considerably higher than in the US.

Even using US methods to calculate unemployment France and Germany have UE rates that quite higher than ours.

Eurostat has EU-wide unemployment at 8.8% this month:

With Germany at 9.6% and France at 9.8%. I'm not sure if Eurostat uses its own methods or just takes data from the various contries.
