Bert, The USA system is quantity based and the European ones are quality based. The average European university graduate is better than the average US grad, however the US schools have a wider range and so the top US grads are better than Euro grads and the bottom ones are worse.
The US schools have enormous ranges while the UK and Euro schools tend to be required to meet certain standards to grant degrees. In the USA any one can grant a degree and the market and reputaion of the school will determine how good their grads will do in the job market. There are 'diploma mills' in the USA, Pay $$ and get whatever degree you like. They have a low reputation, but they seem to make money every year.
As to %, I am vague, just rmors , so until I have more solid facts, I will cease judgements.
