Although Spain's overall unemployment rate hovers above 10 percent, the economy is desperately short of people willing to do some of the manual jobs Spaniards shun, for example in construction and agriculture
Yes, I agree.
Many hundreds of thousands from Spain responded to Germany's call for guest workers in the recent past. So I guess this new generation is too lazy to even walk down the street to apply for a job? Is that what we are to believe?
Like here, there are some who are "too lazy." But all of them?!
No. It's a matter of cheap labor and easy intimidation in most cases IMO. The need to intimidate = incompetent managers. Same as here.
