Ada perbedaan antara Inggris dan Perancis dimana tingkat pengangguran di Inggris hanya 4,4% sementara di Perancis dua kalinya. Kebijakan Pemerintah Perancis (Nicolas Sarkozy) banyak yang menyulitkan para imigran dimana peluang mendapat pekerjaan untuk mereka menjadi semakin sulit. Ditambah dengan kalahnya mereka bersaing dengan para imigran Eropa Timur yang banyak mempunyai pendidikan tinggi. Sementara pelaku bom London bukan berasal dari golongan ekonomi kelas bawah dan mereka termotivasi akan adanya rasa ketidak adilan. Bukan sebagai bagian dari rasa frustasi kesulitan mendapat pekerjaan.
