Spain has just posted a quarterly growth, its first in two years, and has just been strong-armed by Obama and the Germans into dropping recovery and adopting "Irish recovery-style" policies. And they're going to do it as well. Thanks Michael.

A similar picture emerges from the CSO's earning and labour costs survey - which concerns employees. Between Q2 2008 and Q3 2009, employment declined by 20,400 among the 'management, professionals and associated professionals' sector; 8,500 among 'clerical, sales and service employees'; and 109,800 among 'production, transport, craft and other manual workers'. This latter category has made up 79 percent of employment loss. Unfortunately, these pictures and the implications for future employment policy, (Ernst & Young are projecting unemployment will still exceed 12 percent in 2014, only slightly less than today and well above Eurozone averages) hardly merit any mention in mainstream commentary.
