More opportunities

BEFORE the economic crisis of 2007, and before entering a recession in 2009, Spain’s economy was one of the strongest in all of the European Union. When the COVID­19 pandemic struck in early 2020, the steady growth experienced in the previous decade was decimated and millions were affected. Amazingly, in just two years, the workforce in Spain is, again, ex­ periencing a climb – with around 19.77 million people employed. English speakers will see more opportunities for roles in the Spanish job market. According to a LinkedIn ranking, jobs in cyber security, sales, logistics, finance, graphic design and real estate are leading the way in offering employment opportunities in 2023 for Spanish and non­Spanish speakers.

The Pact on Migration and Asylum is deeply complex and divides EU countries. Spain is currently sounding out the other 27 EU countries to understand their stances.
