Guess that explains why Manuel had to go to England to find work.
Is that the number including those that have stopped looking for work, or on disability, or is that the real number?
You know, the one we refuse to admit.
Wait till we add 11 million illegals to the official work force numbers.
To top this off they also have unimpeded immigration where hordes of thieves from places east prey on locals and tourists alike.
I went to visit my family’s homeland in 2010 and the anger bordering on desperation was apparent everywhere. It’s of their own making, of course, as every waiter we encountered at every restaurant or tapas bar, for example, was not a Spaniard or a Catalonian. In every occasion it was a foreigner.
Hey, I know! They should build some MORE windmills! That’ll make lots of GREEN jobs! Oh, wait ...
Never mind.
RE: Spain unemployment hits record high (27.2%)
I am interested to know how they measure “unemployment”. Like we do here, Do they NOT COUNT those who have given up job search altogether, or do they include these in the 27.2%?
If America had included those who have given up job search, the unemployment rate would be close to 16%.
What does Spain do in her labor survey?
Gee, what a surprise /sarc —
France & Spain elect socialist leaders and Voila! Unemployment skyrockets.
