Sign of the times

More than 15,000 people looking for work queued to apply for just 150 vacancies at the factory of agricultural machinery company on the outskirts of Madrid. The applicants had no idea what positions they were applying for or what wages to expect, just that there was the possibility of a regular job.

Spain's official unemployment rate reached 24.6% in June, the highest in the industrialised world.
