This article presents the socio-economic conditions of Spain. The phenomenon of the seasonal worker is, indeed, very common in Spain. In Catalonia thousands and thousands of wretched men, women and children could be observed traveling by train to help in the grape harvest in France. FOR most Spaniards, life is a hard struggle. Apart from the phenomenon of seasonal labor, there is the equally common phenomenon of "moonlighting"-holding down two or more jobs in order to make ends meet. Most Spanish postmen are dressed up almost like generals.
