Yesterday we had another kind of pearls released by the Peregrine Solbes in an interview with the newspaper El Pais. The interview is very much sugarcane and has no waste, so I recommend you do not paste the entire reading. Among other things, Solbes acknowledged that the promise of full employment for this legislature was "more an ambition than a technical analysis" also said that has always believed that there was a "housing bubble" and that there should be a drop in housing production , But acknowledged that weighed it would be "more mild" destroying electoral programs that are based on the economic situation of each moment, but "then the reality is that it is."
Confirming the reality, today we have the data of registered unemployment in the PES, showing an increase of 36,492 persons in July, bringing the total number of unemployed at 2,426,916. 1.5% more than in June and the highest figure since April 1998, according to data from the Ministry of Labor.
