How much of your population is unemployed? Don't know? Well, before a few days ago, I'd say 5% or so would be a good estimate for a frightening economy. After going to http://www.sunsetrpg.com/nsxmlparser.php (just type the nation name in at the top and hit enter), I got widely differing unemployment numbers for several nations.

Mine was incredibly low, at 2.65%. I checked a few other nations. One got somewhere around 20% unemployment. I noticed that the nations with larger welfare budgets seemed to have more unemployed than those with less. Fluffywuffy spends nothing on welfare. Automagfreek, for example, spends more money but has less employed.

What's your number and how much do you spend on welfare? Lots, a little, nothing?

13.7% unemployment and $2.6 trillion in welfare spending on a Powerhouse economy.

I think that's incredibly high at that economic rating.
