The Siesta and the Unemployment Rate in Spain

As the siesta proclamation in atod made global headlines, Joan felt that some journalists were linking the siesta to spain's unemployment rate. He thought it all came down to a cultural misunderstanding. To joan, the mis aption that spanish people didn't want to work was very upsetting for him. The siesta was a valuable custom that had nothing to do with people's attitudes towards working. Everyone respects the siesta because they want to, not because they have to.
