The economic crisis and its social impact is a major concern for most EU citizens, according to a survey published Thursday (20 December) by survey group Eurobarometer.
“The proportion of Europeans who say that the situation of their national economy is rather bad or very bad exceeds two-thirds for the ninth consecutive time,” notes the survey. Unemployment, the general unchanged nature of the economic crisis, and rising prices are among the greatest concerns. …

In the West you will find different variations of a shared concept. Such as:
America is a federal constitutional republic.
Germany is a federal parliamentary republic.
Britain is a constitutional monarchy and parliamentary system.
I just gave you additional employment information in Europe. That is definitely not worth you getting hostile about... at least not a normal person.
Yes, the thread is about unemployment. And in the EU, the cause comes from the top.
These troubled European nations have a lot of their own baggage.
Even the one with the lowest unemployment figures.

End the EU
It’s the ones at the top that want to keep the EU.
This crisis is specifically designed to induce national governments to surrender their sovereignty. It isn’t a natural crisis; it’s induced.
