a Unemployment rates for France are estimated. For comparison
with the US rate, the rates for France and the United Kingdom
should be increased by 5 percent and 15 percent respectively. Italian
rates should be decreased by 50 percent; the rates for Japan,
Canada, and West Germany are comparable to US rates.
