        The unemployment rate is horrendous, at 13.3% in the first quarter of 2023. In comparison, Germany was at around 5.5%, the UK at about 3.8%, and the US at around 3.5%.

        Edit: And when you scope that to youth unemployment, the rate in Spain is nearly 30%. I won’t pretend to know enough about Spanish economic policy to speculate on causes, but things are not exactly going well.

            Okay?

            I’m genuinely not understanding your point. That website shows 13.01% unemployment it 2022, and 28.34% for youth. These are very high.

                I’ll maintain that the Spanish economy is not exactly a good example of economic prosperity, and thank you for providing additional data that exactly shows that point. Cheers.
