Spain has set a new milestone in employment: in March, Social Security recorded over 2.97 million foreign affiliates, representing 13.9% of the total workforce. This record number confirms a growing trend: foreign workers are increasingly present in high-value sectors such as Information and Communications and Professional, Scientific, and Technical Activities.
With growth rates of +33.9% in foreign self-employed in tech and +17.5% in technical professions, it’s clear that international talent is helping to drive innovation and economic development.
At ARC Legal, we support this positive trend and remain committed to helping foreign professionals establish their careers in Spain.
