Company of new jobs in the US and the EU from 1995 to 2008 suggests that, while the US created 20 million new jobs, 19 million of them were attributable to population growth. The EU-15 created about 24 million new jobs during the same period, with only nine million due to rising population.
此外，欧洲就业创造也要比许多人想象的更好。麦肯锡公司分析了美国和欧盟1995—2008年的就业创造情况，结果表明，美国创造了2 000万个新岗位，其中1 900万个可以归因于人口增加。同期EU-15创造了2 400万个新岗位，只有900万个来自新增人口。
