4 Line Graph

The 4-line graph shows unemployment levels for men and women together, and for men only, in the EEC and the USA, 1972-81.
The highest rate of unemployment throughout the period was for USA men and women. There was a small drop in 1973 from 5M to 4M but then a sharp increase to 8M in 1975. From 1975 to 1979 there was a gradual decline but then a steep rise to 9M in 1981. For EEC men and women there was a similar drop in 1973 from 3M to 2.5M, followed by a fairly sharp increase to 6M by 1977. Levels remained steady for two years but then rose quickly to almost 9M by 1981. The lines for EEC men and USA men are quite similar. There was a drop in 1973, followed by an increase to 4M in the USA and 3M in the EEC. Both levels then remained pretty steady until 1980 and then there was another rise to 5M in the EEC and 4.5M in the USA.
The levels for men and women in both regions rose to almost 9M by 1981.
