#1: Jobs

The International Monetary Fund predicts that the U.S. unemployment rate will be 9.3 percent for all of 2010. That’s lower than in some European nations, but it’s higher than in Canada and a lot worse than most countries in Scandinavia and Asia. Overall, the U.S. unemployment rate is about average for advanced economies and likely to stay that way. It could be worse, but middling job creation isn’t a sign of global leadership.
