In the year 1931, the US had a population of around 90,710,000 people. Of this 90 million, 50,080,000 were part of the work force. There were 8,020,000 people unemployed in 1931, making up 15.82% unemployment.
If we add up all the unemployed, those working part-time but are looking for full-time work, and those who have given up looking for work we would find that over 24 million Americans are out of work or under employed.
The percentage of Americans that are currently unemployed is a little over 6 percent. This is one of the lowest rates in recent history.

European Governments provide adequate Social Services for the unemployed meaning that Europeans have the option to remain unemployed for longer periods in the knowledge that they will receive financial help. In the US financial help for the unemployed is considerably less meaning that for many Americans being unemployed is not an option
