Economists find the most troubling element of Spain's unemployment total jumping to a record 27.2 percent is that almost a third of those jobless have been out of work for more than two years.
In addition the experts say more than half of the huge army of unemployed have very low levels of education and limited skills. That will make it difficult for them to benefit from a recovery when it does come.
The jobless rate, which was just under eight percent of the workforce in mid-2007, has risen relentlessly since Spain's labour-intensive property boom collapsed in 2008.
A massive 57.2 percent of young people those aged 16 to 24 are jobless.
