Spain's Population Falls As Foreign Workers Give Up

The Daily Mail reports that Spain's population fell by 206,000 last year, primarily as a result of foreign born workers leaving the country, presumably because of the poor economy (the story notes that the unemployment rate is 26% and the youth unemployment rate is over 50%). Sadly, the population of native Spaniards only grew by 10,000 last year according to the article--out of a population of 47.1 million. With figures like that, Spain seems to be circling the drain.
