You also get part of the rent (complex calculation around 50-60%) too so the total benefit is somwhat more.

Even then I wouldnt suggest unemployment. Once you get old and sick you are fudged if you dont have other retirement benefits except the goverment pension.

Swedish women are the best.

Grow a beard, preach hate towards everything western, praise terror bombings and try to convert people into radical islamists and the British government will welcome you with open arms, give you a house, give you free healthcare AND give you £15,000 (around $25 - 30k) if you have no job.

We are finally seeing that this is not a good idea and are starting to put a stop to it, so you better come over quick.

If you want to make som (not much but fair amount) of money you could come here (Finland) and establish a firm using that american skill of yours. We have so many unemployed people here with good education but who are unable to make their own business. Creating a firm here is discouraged, its a like a skill we lack, part of the culture.

Finnish workers are skilled, educated and honest but they need leadership. Our work culture is pyramidic. We need the "boss".

In sweden its kind of opposite. There a meeting wont end until everyone agrees and even the lowest worker can walk into the bosses office like its his own living room.
