Why a Cádiz town is Spain’s unemployment capital
There are a number of odd things about Benalup, a small town occupied by 7,183 souls in Cádiz province. For one, high season at its main hotel, the Fair Play, is not in summer but in November and spring, when it seeks to draw golf lovers. There is also something odd about its unemployment figures. There are more men than women on the dole, and most of the people on the unemployment rolls were added in the last six months, bucking the general trend in Cádiz province. And in a final twist, local leaders say the high jobless rate registered in October is a result of their efficient aid programs and training workshops.

It’s a govt strategy to place apprentices, the unemployment figures don’t look bad if youngsters aren’t claiming dole.
