National economy of Spain - industries, GDP and prosperity level
The economy of Spain is ranked fifth place among all the countries of the European Union by nominal GDP. On the world arena, the country’s economy occupies a stable 12th position. It is worth noting that the country’s purchasing power is one of the strongest in the world. The economy of the country was especially developed, thanks to the sectors of medium technological level, among which are its automobile industry, the production of audio-visual equipment, industrial machinery and equipment, and products of the chemical and cosmetic industries. However, the statistics of one of the analytical companies shows that among the hundred most recognized global brands, there is not a single Spanish.

The labor market in Spain is one of the toughest in Europe. After labor reform was carried out in 2010, the dismissal procedure became simpler. The amount of severance pay was reduced by one-third, and the average wage was no longer defined. Now it directly depends on the degree of qualification of the employee, on the position held and on the capabilities of the organization in which the person works. To date, the level of official unemployment does not fall below 10%. The fight against this indicator is directly related to education. According to statistics, out of five million unemployed, about two million have no special training. The average wage is about 27,000 Euros per year, taxes inclusive. The GDP as of last year is 1,352 billion dollars, while the national debt per capita of Spain is just over 34 thousand dollars.
