The definition of "unemployment" in Argentina is a joke. If you worked for any length of time during the past year, you're not considered unemployed. Same goes if you're getting an unemployment check.

The definition of "unemployment" everywhere is a joke. The best number is the prime-age (25-54) employment rate.

Do you know that what is considered unemployment in Europe is what in Argentina is called unemployment and underemployment[2]? The sum of unemployment and underemployment in Argentina is 15.57% [1].
