Comparing Spain to USA?

Unfortunately, people don't measure unemployment accurately. If someone's unemployment benefits have run out, they are STILL counted as unemployed; so long as they are seeking work. But, if a year goes by and you haven't found a job, you become a 'discouraged worker'--It's assumed you are no longer looking for work, so are not counted as unemployed.

Worse, the criteria vary, from country to country. Sometimes, students are counted as unemployed. Sometimes, the time it takes to becomes 'discouraged' is 2 years.

Because of a lack of standards,it makes it very difficult to compare two countries, based on unemployment stats.
