Actually, the unemployment rate in the US does not count displaced workers, like those with jobs in the wrong sector or people working part time jobs because those are the only jobs they could get, instead of full time jobs. Also, discouraged workers who are no longer looking for work are not counted in the unemployment rate. So our unemployment rate WOULD be comparable to European figures, if these people were factored into the unemployment rate.
While Jon Katz may be a bit sensationalistic at times, he's on the right track. For a more broad and insightful look into this controversial discovery, check out some of the latest stories at http://www.philosophynews.com/
