   • 2019 August 21, Alicia Rodríguez de Paz, “La meitat dels aturats en nou autonomies són de llarga durada”, in La Vanguardia‎^[1]:

     L’impacte personal, social i econòmic de l’atur de llarga durada és inqüestionable, sobretot en una economia en la qual, tal com ressalta amb insistència el Banc d’Espanya, l’atur és el principal motor de la desigualtat de renda.

     The personal, social, and economic impact of long-term unemployment is unquestionable, especially in an economy in which, just like the Bank of Spain insistently points out, unemployment is the main engine for income inequality.
