Unemployed More Likely To Watch TV Than Look For a Job

VILLACANAS, SPAIN - NOVEMBER 29: Unemployed twenty-year old Maria Regina Fernandez (L) spends the night watching television with her boyfriend, who does also not hold a job, instead of going out to the cinema or the villages bars and cafeterias, at their grandmothers home on November 29, 2012 in Villacanas, Spain. During the boom years, where in its peak Spain built some 800,000 houses a year accompanied by the manufacturing of millions of wooden doors, the people of Villacanas were part of Spain's middle class enjoying high wages and permanent jobs. During the construction boom years the majority of the doors used within these new developments were made in this small industrial town. Approximately seven million doors a year were once assembled here and the factory employed a workforce of almost 5700 people, but the town is now left almost desolate with the Villacanas industrial park now empty and redundant. With Spain in the grip of recession and the housing bubble burst, Villacanas is typical of many former buoyant industrial Spanish towns now struggling with huge unemployment problems.
