Unemployment is often portrayed as the cost that european countries pay for supporting developed welfare states. According to this line of thought, it is ok for the US to have much less advantages for unemployed people since it is much easier for someone who lost his job to find a new one.
If the US unemployment gets close to their european counterparts, this argument becomes harder to believe.
