The unemployment rate in Spain now stands at 24.44% according to the latest figures revealed Friday by the National Institute of Statistics.The autonomous community of Andalucia leads the unemployment figures with 1,329,000 unemployed, a rise of 81,100. Second in line is Catalonia with 836,900 people out of a job, an increase of 61,500, and an unemployment rate of 22.16%. Third place in terms of number of unemployed goes to Valencia with 681,400 without a job, and an unemployment rate of 27.32%.MANICURES and pedicures are not just pampering people – they are also sprucing up the economy.
