Spanish Ambassador to the DR, Diego Bermejo, has revealed that 1,500 to 2,000 Dominicans out of the 125,000 who reside in Spain legally have lost their jobs due to the world financial crisis. He added that despite this, only 10 Dominicans have taken up the Spanish government's unemployment offer to return to the DR for a three-year period. Returning Dominicans would get 60% of their unemployment benefits when they left the country and 40% as soon as they arrived in the DR. Bermejo did not quantify the unemployment benefit per individual but said the payments could be enough for a Dominican to start a small business in the DR.
