| #10 "The unemployment rate in Norway was 3 per cent of the labor force in March 2012. This represents a decrease of 0.3 percentage points compared with December last year". Even in the worst of times some do well. Even Brazil has had an influx of Spanish youth in the neighborhood of 300000 all together. . |

| #9 Spain doesn't make anything the world just has to have. No, but the weight of EU bureaucracy and the overvalued euro is crushing them. The eurozone is like a gainfully employed, financially prudent husband (Germany) with 16 wives who all share one credit card. Some of them have jobs, some of them are shopaholics, some not so much, but the EU wants to subject them all to the same one-size-fits-all rules. The sooner the PIIGS bug out (revert to national currencies), the better off everyone will be. |

| #5 Spain has 2 problems 1 and the biggest is that it thought property was a magic money tree and land inflation wasn't bad. 2 it's stuck in the EUSSR and the EURO and is double stuffed with regard to fixing its economy. |
