西班牙失业率创新高
Some 5.7 million Spaniards, equivalent to almost one in four, are now seeking work, according to official figures.
官方统计数据显示，大约570万西班牙人——相当于总人口的1/4——目前正在寻找工作。
The country's unemployment rate rose to 24.6% during the April to June quarter, up from 24.4% during the previous quarter.
That is the highest rate since the mid-1970s, when the right-wing dictator Francisco Franco died and the country reintroduced democracy.
Economists see no signs of improvement any time soon.
"Things are only going to get worse," said Capital Economics' Ben May.
"With the economy unlikely to expand any time soon, and the dire position the economy is in, Spain is probably more likely to fall deeper into recession."
