From the supplier: Western Europe has suffered higher levels of unemployment than the United States due to the greater control European unions have and the extensive benefits their workers receive. These benefits increase the cost of employment, lower the demand for labor, and generate regulations that hamper the development of service jobs. Benefits also drive higher income taxes, supplanting market services with home production.
