Unemployment varies from country to country.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/268830/unemployment-rate...

5.8% to 16%

Comparable to the U.S. https://www.statista.com/statistics/273909/seasonally-adjust...

4.4% to 14.7%

Something tells me though that you really don't want to be unemployed in the US... And that a huge number of those jobs in the US are indentured servitude in all but name.

Spain has a youth unemployment of 30% in 2019, vs 9% in the US.

Spain is worst case, but also one of the EU founding countries. Even sweden has 20%+ of youth unemployment.

It is not the land of opportunity!
