Re: French unemployed movement

[PJM0930]

Recently I have read criticism's of the business and mainstream press's
triumphalism about the state of the American vs. European economies 
with regards to unemployment rates.  The criticism points out
that factoring in prison populations into the unemployment rates creates
a much smaller gap.

I am new on the list, so this may have been discussed to death already
but I would be interested on any sources for the debate on US compared
to the EU (and any comments of course).
