» 西班牙青年失业率达到创纪录的56.1%
Youth unemployment in Spain has reached a new high of 56.1%, a quarter of the 3.5 million under-25s jobless across the euro zone, according to the latest Eurostat figures.
The number of young Spaniards belonging to what has become known as the lost generation is up 2% since June to 883,000. Only Greece has a higher percentage of young people out of work, at 62.9%.
Among adult males, Spain has the highest unemployment at 25.3%, higher even than Greece. Despite the government's claims that the worst has passed and that employment reforms will encourage firms to hire, the figures suggest it will be a long time before any upturn in the economy is reflected in a declining jobless rate. With the holiday season coming to a close, the numbers are likely to rise as workers on seasonal contracts go back on the dole.
With close to six million Spaniards out of work, unemployment is so entrenched that there was no political reaction to the latest figures, neither from government nor the opposition. Indeed, mentioning the economy at all has become virtually taboo across the political spectrum. Meanwhile, Spaniards and recent immigrants are deserting the country in search of work, with 500,000 leaving in 2012, 60,000 of them Spanish nationals, most of them to Latin America and Europe.
The total number of unemployed across the euro zone is 19.2 million, 15,000 fewer than in June. Across the E U the figure was 26.7 million, down 33,000 from June. However, it has remained at a record rate of 12.1% for the fourth months. The overall rate across the euro zone is 11%, half a percentage point up on last year.
Italy saw a small fall to 12%, while the lowest rates among member states are Austria (4.8%), Germany (5.3%) and Luxembourg (5.7%). The rate in the U S is 7.4% and in Japan 3.8%.
As the continent still grapples with the effects of the financial crisis five years on, a board member of the German central bank warned that the European financial system is still not equipped to cope with a bank failure of a similar magnitude to 2008's collapse of Lehman Brothers.
"If we had a Lehman 2.0 tomorrow, which I don't see, we still wouldn't hold the tools we designed to wind down banks globally effectively in our hands," said Andreas Dombret of Germany's Bundesbank.
Some progress had been made and the system is now safer than in 2008, but implementation is slow, said Dombret, who is in charge of the financial stability portfolio on the German central bank's board.
Andreas Dombret负责德国中央银行董事会的金融稳定的投资组合，Andreas Dombret说虽然欧洲金融体系相比于08年取得了一些进步，但是该体系的实施进度还是过于缓慢
He added: "More than anything, we have bought time with a number of unconventional measures. That's why financial markets are currently calm, but it doesn't have to stay like that forever."
Andreas Dombret补充道，“更为重要的是，我们在一些非常规措施上面花费了时间，这也是目前金融市场平静的原因，但不总是需要保持现状”
The bankruptcy of US investment bank Lehman plunged the global financial system into crisis, leading to a raft of new rules aimed at making banks' business less risky to avoid taxpayer-funded rescues.

Spain youth unemployment reaches record 56.1%
I'm American, but I've lived in Spain for the past 15 years. The numbers are not good, obviously. Overall unemployment in Spain is over 27%. There are 2 million households that have no body who is employed. And finally, the IMF has forecast that unemployment will not fall below 25% until 2019 at the earliest.
Those numbers would be bad enough, however, the conservative Popular Party, which is in control of the government now, has the country on a stiff dose of austerity which after a year and a half shows no sign of improving things.
Hence, young Spaniards who want to get ahead are fleeing the country at an alarming rate.

Really think about this for a minute, that's over half of a generation that is not receiving any basic work skills. When they are brought into the workforce, they'll be going in with zero experience.
There is no happy ending for this.

I currently live in Spain, but in 9 days I'm moving to Scotland for university, and will hopefully settle down either there or some where in England.
Spain is simply financially unsustainable, and if I were to stay in the country, my family would end up on the street, because my mother hasn't had a wage increase for 9 years, and thanks to the much higher taxes, she actually earns two thirds of what she used to earn back in 2004.
It's an extremely grim situation. Don't think that the media is exaggerating.

Spanish teen here. I've read some comments saying how spaniards only party and sleep, and I must say this is a lack of knowledge of Spain. Only tourists do that

My question is, what can you do to solve this crisis? Because while short term spending and reforms can boost job numbers, what of the long term debt consequences? They still have an enormous debt and deficit that must be solved eventually.

I don't understand why countries do not realize the threat of so many unemployed people...every country should be making jobs now...but they won't and civil war is coming.
