I just saw this on CNN:

The unemployment rate in Spain is around 25%, with people who had been in the middle class going to the Red Cross for food.  Things are bad there.

I ask the question in the subject, because unemployment in the U.S is attributed to laziness, government doing something, and handouts.  With unemployment that high, I am curious to see what percentage of unemployment in Spain would be because of these factors.
