UNEMPLOYMENT IN SPAIN – JAN 2012 = 5.3 MLN = 22.8% - PART 1

Number of unemployed people passed the 5 mln mark in the last quarter of 2011, official figures show. 5.3 million people were out of work at the end of December, up from 4.9 million in the third quarter. This rate rose from 21.5% in the 3rd quarter to 22.8% and it is the highest rate in nearly 17 years. Spain already has the highest jobless rate in the European Union and everything is pointing out that they are going to slide back into recession. Of course those who are in power are trying to make it look beautiful and indicate that they are in control of it by saying that the figure is BELOW the 5.4 million estimated by the Spanish finance minister on Thursday.

But what does it change trying to make it look at it a bit more pretty ? There are 5 million people without a job and it is not going to be easy to create that amount of jobs in the very near future. Big part of those people will receive some money from unemployment office and they will be able to cope somehow with the payment of their expenses – food, house, cloths etc. And in the meantime they should be able to look for another job. But as I said before, it is not going to be easy to create 5 million jobs in the near future. The whole world economy is being troubled and Spain is not going to be able to create magically 5 million jobs out of thin air.

Thus we have a problem. Out of this 5 million people there are already many who have not been able to find a job for a long time - 1 to 3 years or even more.

What does it mean ?

After certain period of time they will not receive unemployment benefits anymore. Maybe they will be able to receive something but this “something” is not enough to live on it. You will be left on your own.

How are they going to survive then ?

If you are lucky and have family or friends who support you then you will be somehow ok. But what about if your friends and family are not able to help you because they are also struggling with survival ? The answer is clear: crime, robberies, selling drugs, prostitution, illegal activities, increased rate of suicides and murders etc. Common !!!! You don't have to be a genius to figure this out. This is what is already happening in Spain and this is what is going to increase in the future. There will be also a lot of secondary problems - low morality, depressions, health problems because of poor nutrition and many more.

There are many people who have not been able to find a job for long time. There are many people who are not receiving any more unemployment benefits anymore. There are many people who have no choice but to turn into robberies, prostitution etc. because they have no other alternatives to get money to survive And there will be more and more people joining this group because as I said before and I repeat myself for a 3rd time - Spain is not going to create magically 5 million jobs in the near future.

You can be as spiritual as you want…
You can hope that in 2012 there will be shift in consciousness and afterwards everything will be perfect and beautiful….
You can be as positive as you want…
You can believe in God as strong as you want…

But the reality is as follows….

To be continued.
