Question

Through good economic years and bad, many european economies had unemployment rates hovering near _________ since the 1970s.

Answer 1

The correct answer is 10%.

Sometimes these numbers were higher, sometimes they were lower, but in general, good economic years hovered around 10% which was not so bad for the society since it's impossible to reduce it to 0% and it is also easy for it to go way over 10%, so the 10% mark was acceptable for numerous countries in Europe.
