To be without a job.
زمینه فرهنگی
The 'oficina del paro' (SEPE) is a common meeting point. People often talk about 'ir al paro' as a routine administrative task. The 'paro juvenil' (youth unemployment) is a major social issue, leading to many 'mileuristas' (people earning 1000 euros) or people staying in the 'paro' for long periods. In Mexico, 'paro' usually means a strike or a favor. If you say 'estoy en el paro,' they might think you are on strike. Argentines use 'paro' almost exclusively for labor strikes (e.g., 'paro de transporte'). For unemployment, they say 'desocupado'.

Regionality
Only use this in Spain. In Latin America, use 'desempleado' to be safe.
