6.1. Labor market
The Labor Market is evidently more problematic from the standpoint of investors. Issues relating to the lack of labor flexibility stand out in this
respect, demonstrated by the ratings awarded to areas such as adjusting labor legislation to meet company needs, mobility, the collective
agreements system and even flexibility of working hours.
The difficulties that investors encounter as regards labor costs, both in terms of dismissal costs and the absence of hiring incentives or
subsidies, should also be pinpointed.
These are recurring issues, which also emerge as some of the main problems for doing business in Spain in other international surveys such
as the Global Competitiveness Report or Doing Business mentioned above.
