Well how are things in Spain?
Let's go to the board.............
The number of jobless people in Spain increased by 295,300 to 5.27 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, surpassing the 5 million mark for the first time in history, the statistics body INE said Friday.
The INE put the unemployment rate at 22.85 per cent, up from 21.5 per cent in October.
About 1.6 million households in Spain now have all their active members out of work.
Unemployment increased most among people aged 25 and 54 years - by 286,000 - in the fourth quarter. However, it went down among people aged less than 25 years.
Spain's unemployment rate is the highest in the European Union and about twice the EU average. Eurostat data put the youth jobless rate at nearly 50 per cent.
Keep rockin' Obama, you'll get us there soon enough.
