Unemployment goes on growing everywhere as hiring falls
According
to the Spanish Social Security (SS), there are 5,040,222 people out of work. More
than 100,000 of them registered last February and it caused the reach of the
border of 5 million unemployed for the first time ever. It should be kept in
mind the fact that the SS datum always signs fewer rates of jobless than the
official EPA (which proofs almost 6 million people out of work).

In
February, the worst results are from agriculture and tertiary sector (the
second one with 2/3 of the unemployed). It can be surprising that the building
industry jobless doesn’t grow as other sectors do, but it could be explained
because it was the first sector to fall after the outbreak of real state
bubble, and it had abruptly fallen months ago. Nowadays there are 800.000
workers of that industry registered in SS as out of work.
