2. On the unemployment side you need to look at the background.

Over the past 20 years or so they had a massive drift from their tourist industry into construction. The construction industry died 2007. Their tourist industry had already ceased to be competitive too in some respects so generally speaking there are no jobs there either.

I'm wondering if for example the car manufacturs will open more factories there. VW and Peugeot/Citroen have both just applied for ECB funds with the intention of doubling their outputs. Aside from that I can only assume Spain will increase the size of its farming and agricultural industries to create more jobs.
