“Figures from the INE statistics office show that 53 percent of Spanish companies have no employees, as many can’t afford to hire full-time workers. That portion reached 55 percent last year. The total number of businesses declined for a fifth year in 2012, falling to the lowest level since 2005, the INE said in a statement this month. The proportion of those people losing their jobs who decide to start a business has risen to 15 percent, more than three times the historical rate, said Carmen Sebrango formerly https://www.randstad.es/sala_de_prensa/noticias_y_notas_de_prensa/Pages/nombramiento-Carmen-Sebrango.aspx, Randstad’s outplacement director in Spain.”
