Worldbank data:

For each of the years, 2010,2011, 2012

Canada 9.7 9.4 8.5
France 5.4 5.8 5.5
Germany 5.2 5.3 4.9
Japan 15.3 15.7 15.6
Italy 11.2 12.2 13.4
United Kingdom 8.1 8.8 7.6
United States 15.7 16.6 15.6
Spain 5.8 7.5 9.7

Japan and the USA are the worst.  Italy comes in second.  Which is the most worrisome? For some reason, Japan does this well, but Italy and the USA are a problem.  The results are a bit mixed.
