Yeah it's fucked up. Luckily my region has the lowest unemployment at 10% (which is still high, but we're kind of OK), because we didn't base our economy on housing and we have a strong services and industrial sector. We also have manage our own taxes without intervention from the Spanish government which is good.
But some areas in Spain have over 30% unemployment!!! Basically, the whole Spanish economy was based on housing, not education or anything useful. Also, 60% of the immigration in Europe was coming to Spain, which meant about 7-8m extra people in 10 years (from 39 to 46m). These people are mostly unemployed now but of course they wouldn't leave the country.
Edit: I don't live in Spain BTW, left the country 6 years ago and I'm not coming back any time soon.
