ELI5: The Perks of an EU Membership

Being from the States, I've never really known why the EU is a huge thing for the citizens residing in it (I understand the diplomatic and economic benefits of countries).  Does an EU passport/membership get you anything special as a citizen?

Being from the US you take for granted your "US membership." Having trouble finding work in georgia, move to Colorado. Need a sunny vacation? Fly to California without needing a passport or visa. Have a farm in Indiana and want to sell to farmers markets in Chicago (without having to figure out exchange rates or tarrifs), no big deal. Born in Alaska but hate the cold? Move to Arizona.

EU membership gives Citizens of (participating) Europe the same freedom to move about and work about in an area about the size of the US that the US takes for granted.
