"One can have higher employment in exchange for debt accumulation"

That is the macroeconomic factor. There is also the microeconomic one, in those countries when someone is unemployed they don't lose reasonable access to the health care system, nor do they go on some small fraction of their previous income for only six months then nothing at all. So being unemployed doesn't hurt as much.
