Spain unemployment rate hits 20%

#1  These numbers reflect the number of people working in the black economy as much as anything. Greek unemployment is officially 19%.

Government austerity and taxes increases will drive more people into the black economy, further reducing government revenues and increases costs (many of the black economy employed also collect welfare).
