"Spain's out-of-control unemployment is matched in Europe only by Greece, which posted a 27.2% jobless rate for January, the most recent month available."

I don't know if Greece cooks the books like the USA does, but 27.2% is really bad but is not 50%.

I believe the 50% is only the youth rate.

If they do “calculate” their rate like we do and admit 27.2%, it probably is really 50%
