15,000 queue for 150 Madrid factory jobs
The Telegraph -
More than 15,000 people looking for work queued to apply for just 150 vacancies at the factory of agricultural machinery company John Deere on the outskirts of Madrid.
As data showed unemployment across Spain has risen by 11pc over the past year, 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.
“The truth is I have no idea what the job is, beyond that it is at a factory,” one 23-year-old applicant was reported as saying.
