Yes it definately makes sense for me to focus on Madrid with these percentages. Once there and established I figure I can look to switch to a different area later on if that's what I still choose to do. Like I said in my original post I was at first looking to live more or less in the eastern coastal region. However, after much thought and of course this employment issue, Madrid may be more suited toward my needs. After all, I'm from the Washington, D.C. area, I'm sure Madrid will seem the most familiar to me out of all places in Spain since it is the most urban.

Thanks for all the responses!
