Good day for burying bad news.

Re: Good day for burying bad news.
The one area with positive news on this front, appears to be Madrid. No idea whether their figures signal better days ahead, or just that Madrid has a different economic cycle to the rest of the country. Certainly the south of the country continues to have very high unemployment levels - could the difference be explained by people working on the black?

Edit reading the article again, although the numbers of unemployed has decreased in Madrid, so has the number of "actively employed", which could be explained by people retiring or economic migrants returning home I suppose.

En los últimos 12 meses, el desempleo ha aumentado en todas las comunidades autónomas, excepto en Madrid, donde se han registrado 30.400 parados menos, lo que supone una bajada del 5,5 por ciento menos.
