Ok after looking at the second link which did work, thanks Stratos

Here's what I came up with based on the numbers and info provided by that link.
2002 numbers listed in this order:

Country Unemployement GDP Purchasing Parity Growth rate Inflation

USA 5.8% $10.4 trillion $37,000 2.45% 1.6%

Austria 4.8% $.226 T $27,700 .6% 1.8%

Belgium 7.2% $.2976 T$29,000 .6% 1.7%

Denmark 5.1% $.1555 T $29,000 1.8% 2.3%

France 9.1% $1.54 T $25,700 1% 1.8%

Greece 10.3% $.201 T $19,000 3.5% 3.6%

Germany 9.8% $2.18 T $26,600 .4% 1.3%

Ireland 4.3% $.1185 T $30,500 5.2% 3.7%

Italy 9.1% $1.438 T $25,000 .8% 3.7%

Netherlands 3% $.434 T $26,900 .3% 3.4%

Portugal 4.7% $.182 T $18,000 .8% 3.7%

Spain 11.3% $.828 T $20,700 2% 3%

Sweden 4% $.2274 T $25,400 1.8% 2.2%

UK5.2% $1.5 T $25,300 1% 1.8%

Now for the GDP I added all the listed Non USA countries together they have an approximatly the same population total. Grand total of GDP is drum roll please......
........... $9.3514 Tminus Canada
With Canada added in just for good measure, to show you what a nice guy I am I won't count that red as a 1 point.
$10.2834 T

Now
Canada 7.6% $.932T $29,400 .8% 3.7%


I asked about more then just the unemployement number gab, I also asked about, growth, inflation, medium income and GDP IIRC. since the link you provided did not have medium income I used the Purchasing parity per capitia avg., if I read it right it means how much you can get with what you get paid(income). And since in this world the vast majority of people judge their success by what they have or can buy I believe it in fact works better than medium income.

Now this is how we score this little game: green is 1 point for you, red 1 point for me.

Edit: to fix Ireland to correctly show they has 2 greens
Edit: to fix Austria to correctly show they have3 reds
