| Kasz216 said: Probably not much, Mostly unemployment in Spain seems to be mostly caused by it's labor laws that went to far extreme in a reactionary move after Franco pretty much said "Screw you" to the workers. Well, that and there is a HUGE Underground labor market that goes unreported to avoid it's labor laws, and allows employees to still collect unemployment benefits while working. |
I'm Spanish and I confirm this. Especially in the south.
Also, the whole Spanish economy was based around housing (stupidly). Not only did it employ millions of Spaniards, but millions more came from outside to work in constructin jobs (the Spanish population increased 20% in 10 years!!). Now most of those people are out of a job.
Thankfully my region is independent from Spain in some ways (we manage our own taxes, healthcare, education, police force...) and we have the lowest unemployment at 12% (still pretty high). But at this rate I don't know were we'll end up. Thank God I've only lived in Spain for 1 year of the last 7 and I'm leaving again soon.
No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.
