Summary: Because inflation seems moribund in OECD countries, stubborn unemployment became the top policy priority of the 1990s. Unemployment has increased in many countries, reaching critical levels for unskilled and young workers in most continental EU countries. Europe's employment performance has continued to lag that in North America. The U.S. in particular achieved a remarkable combination of low inflation and full employment in the late 1990s, at a time when the EU suffered from record unemployment rates, even if inflation was remarkably low. Since the 1980s, the consensus view among economists is that structural unemployment plays a much more important role than cyclical unemployment in Europe, but that labour costs (wage costs plus non-wage costs) are also part of Europe's labour market problem.
