Spain's Unemployment Tops 17%

Sometimes when America Sneezes the rest of the world catches a deadly fever.

CNN has reported that Spain has more than 4 million citizens looking for jobs as the unemployment rate jumped to 17.4% in March 2009.

Spain's previous unemployment rate of ~13.9% was the highest in the European Union, and clearly March's numbers (the unemployment rate and the # of unemployed) are both record worsts for Spain.
