>Meanwhile, the EU has much stricter regulations regarding employment and the conditions under which employees can be let go.

Also much stricter regulations and norms around when you can leave. In the US, two weeks notice is customary but not legally required in the EU its often a three month contractual obligation. I can't help but think that may contribute to the generally lower salaries in the EU vs the US.

I don't know where this is but in my country it's 1 month and most of the time the person leaving still has vacation days to use so they leave much earlier.

Most people just give advanced notice to their employer though, it's just polite.

In which country is this? In most places I worked at it's been 4 weeks (and even this is often waived).

France is strictly three months, though it can be negotiated.

France has exceptionally strong labour protections, I don't think it's fair to extrapolate France to the entire EU.

In Norway you cannot be fired early but you can sometimes negotiate to leave early (and as others have pointed out we often have some holiday left.)
