It depends how you measure it.

You can split the eu into two, or probably three, and the direct uk comparators are Scandinavia, holland, Germany and maybe one or two others.

There is chronic under employment in terms of people taking part time or often zero hour contracts, and unemployment is measured in different ways, look at the difference between the claimant count and those really seeking work in the uk, and similarly different figures exist for most countries.

Bottom line is were still not building or making things in sufficient quantities which is damaging our economy.

There's no minimum wage in Germany. Helps in part to explain the strength of the economy. As very flexible to market conditions.
