Spain posts 5 million jobless rate February 4, 2013 - 18:24 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The number of people registered as unemployed in Spain is bordering on five million as the country remains mired in recession, Belfast Telegraph said. Labour Ministry figures showed the registered jobless figure surged by 132,055 in January to 4.98 million.

The country's unemployment rate was at 26% at the end of the fourth quarter, up 1% from the previous three-month period.
