It just seem abit hypicritical, knowing that as you couldnt hack it here, you went back to the UK and now from the comfort of your armchair, and telling others that there are plenty of jobs.

The good news is there are lots of jobs (in Spain and in the UK), just they need skills that many of us haven't got.
If you follow this jobs list on Twitter there are loads of jobs, but many of them need specialised IT/Web or managerial skills https://twitter.com/#!/list/MigginsPies/spainjobs

Just a few of the offerings on the list over a few minutes:

Unemployment is 33.63% in málaga province which is where most folks seem to be heading....then Stevies comes out with "nearly as bad as the UK"

Some of you are sounding like the holocaust deniers

Stevie maybe you can send the twitter link to the staff of spanair who have just lost their jobs, they could possibly teach business English in Madrid at 34 euros an hour.

I am sure they will appreciate your help and optimism.

As I've stated several times altready (maybe the message will sink in your dense brain on the fourth reading, it's niche sectors that is hiring big-time, but they need specific skills. Have you got it yet, or are you completely beyond help?
