Spain – Home to the 5 worst EU regions for unemployment

Spain still has the second-highest unemployment rate in the EU, at 23.2% way worse than third-place Hungary (18.5%) but not quite as terrible as Greece (26%). That would be bad enough. But the report also shows that Spain is proud home to the five European regions with the worst levels of unemployment.

At the top of the medal positions is the southern province of Andalusia, currently sans government after recent regional elections returned a deeply divided hung parliament. It’s unemployment rate is closing in on a disastrous 35%! The next five worst regions are also in Spain. Even fifth place, Castilla-la Mancha, has an unemployment rate of 29%. In fact, six of the worst 10 regions in the EU are in Spain, the rest are in Greece.
