Unemployment statistics are irrelevant as Kelley Butler said (and considering that various nations measure the statistic differently). More meaningful is “at-will” employment in the States that isn’t replicated in other countries. More telling is the larger relative severance given to U.S. top execs over U.S. lowest level employees vs. worldwide (voluntarily separated top U.S. execs get 124% more than “all other” U.S. employees…worldwide top execs get only 27.9% more than “all other” worldwide employees). Just another example of the entitlement mentality at the highest levels of corporate America.
