No official data.

Qualitative Info

 The NGO General Gypsy Secretariat describes in a report of 2010 that there is 16,1% of unemployment among the Romany population while the national percentage is 20%. It specifies that at least 50% is wage-earning and those who work on their own are in many cases not registered as independent workers even though they carry out selling jobs, scarp gathering, etc.If to this we add that the temporality among the Romany commmunity is very high, we can conclude that there are no trutable data about the unemployment figures of the Romany population in Spain.
