A graph of unemployed 15-24 year olds rodney? What is your point anyway?
Not to mention, his numbers are from January and October '09.
I know this is real brain-busting stuff, Ronnie, but it always helps to use recent data with this kind of stuff. As of April '10:
US 9.9%
Germany 7.8%
Italy 8.3%
Britain 8.0%
And, you've yet to refute my original point that Germany has a very large union presence, yet is still a manufacturing hub, and is the world's second leading exporter.

And a large and prosperous middle class that can afford to send their kids to college, just like the US used to have when we had a large union presence and the highest standard of living the country has ever had.
