Penelitian ini membahas mengenai fluktuasi tingkat pengangguran di Spanyol dalam rentang waktu 2000-2010. Tingkat pengangguran Spanyol menyentuh angka terendah dan tertinggi dalam kurun waktu tersebut. Dalam kurun 2000-2010 terdapat beberapa peristiwa yang berpengaruh terhadap fluktuasi tingkat pengangguran ; dimulainya program sepuluh tahunan UE (Lisbon Strategy), krisis ekonomi Spanyol, dan reformasi undang-undang ketenagakerjaan. Lisbon Strategy yang telah disusun sedemikian rupa demi menciptakan UE yang dinamis dan kompetitif ternyata belum berkontribusi banyak terhadap masalah tenaga kerja Spanyol. Krisis ekonomi Spanyol pada 2008 menjatuhkan pasar tenaga kerja Spanyol dimana kondisi ini diperparah dengan posisi undang-undang ketenagakerjaan Spanyol yang dinilai belum mampu melindungi para pekerja khususnya mereka yang memiliki jenis kontrak kerja tertentu.
