On march 1993, 7% of American did not have jobs which was fairly three times higher than Japan with around 2,5%.in the middle of the period, the percentage of unemployed in two countries changed significantly. In the United States, the number of people having job fell to around 5%. By contrast, the Japanese saw a rise of the unemployed, at around 4%<o:p></o:p>

The proportion of unemployed Americans declined gradually over the next 3 years, reaching just 5% at the end of the period. Conversely, the figures of Japanese who did not have job rose suddenly by 1%. Interestingly, the unemployment proportion of both countries was nearly the same in the end of the period.
