The average salary in Spain remains one of the lowest in the European Union at 22,000 euros per year compared to 35,000 euros across EU member countries, an average which is only lower in Greece, Portugal and Poland, according to human resources firm Michael Page.

Despite low wages, the company says prospects in Spain are "quite" optimistic given that the average salary increase in 2010 stood at 2.8%, while the European average was 1.9%.

Another feature of the Spanish labour market is the discount in the number of jobs on offer, 40% lower than that recorded in 2007. notwithstanding, current job offers narrate to stronger projects and answer to greater steady companies, the survey said.

As a result of this fall in the number of jobs on offer, in the city has been a regional concentration and half of the skilled jobs on offer are located in Madrid and Barcelona, and 35% of companies outsource their recruitment procedures.
 
In addition, the company points out that the Spanish labour market is characterized by its extremely inflexible rules and ranks as the second most demanding European country after Latvia.
