Watch - spain's jobless rate hits 4.83 million
The number of people out of work in Spain has climbed again.
An
extra 128,000 people were unemployed in October, according to the latest
figures from the Labour Ministry. That's 4.83 million people in total.
In
the queue outside one job Centre in Madrid, many are cynical whether
either of the main political parties can Change their fortunes.
"I
don't know whose fault it is, the People's Party or the Socialists. But
we have a very complicated situation right now. I don't think either of
them are doing very well. Things need to be done differently," said one
jobless woman.
"The opposition's leadership is no good and the
government is no better. I think we should punish these parties at
elections. It's one of the only options that we have because protesting
or demonstrating isn't working," said another Madrid resident, who is
also out of work.
Last month, separate data showed the jobless
figure crossing the 25 percent mark for the first time. Youth
unemployment is even worse, standing at 52 percent.
