Any such number would be purely speculative.  The only
way to compare apples-to-apples is to use numbers that
are acquired according to a consistent methodology.

The other day I went to get a haircut and my HAIRDRESSER was an 
unemployed software engineer!  It was surreal discussing Visual 
Studio and C++ -vs- C# with my hairdresser but I took her resume and 
I've been circulating it here at work, since we're hiring.  So I 
know it's bad for some people, but I'm 50 and have lived through 
lots of economic downturns, and personally I've seen worse and the 
BLS data supports that.

The bottom line is that economies with MINIMAL government regulation 
have been shown CONSISTENTLY to generate jobs better than highly 
regulated ones.   The EU's rate of job generation has been WAY 
smaller the the US' because the EU won't let businessmen run their 
own businesses their own way.   I don't want to emulate the EU.
