On the other hand, unemployment is consistently higher in Europe than in the US (and wages are lower), so pick your poison.

I think it's an easy pick, to be honest.

In Europe you have guaranteed minimum wage, can't be fired without good reason, healthcare, all sorts of other help if you lose your job, public transport/cheap means of getting around. It's not even close for the typical worker.

Its difficult to compare because the cultures and industries are completely different. Im not even sure what a typical worker means anymore - what category are you talking about?

More risk in US but also more opportunities.
