During the 2006 French student protests, France’s 22% youth unemployment rate appeared to compare unfavorably to rates of 11%, 12%, and 13% in the United Kingdom, the US, and Germany, respectively. But the Financial Times showed that only 7.8% of French under-25’s were unemployed – about the same ratio as in the other three countries.
在2006年法国学生示威运动期间，该国22%的年轻人失业率比英国、美国和德国严重多了，后三者的数字分别为11%、12%和13%。但《金融时报》指出，只有7.8%的25岁以下法国青年没有工作，这一比率与英美德相同。法国只是全日制学生的百分比高一些罢了。
