Cinco Dias has reported how the Spanish Tourism sector is now sustaining more jobs than the industrial sector for the first time in history.
A recently published government report has detailed how 18.2% of the Spanish workforce - some 2.7 Million - were employed in the Industrial sector in August 2007, with the Tourism sector accounting for just 2 Million.
However, by August 2013 the Tourism sector had grown by some 88,000 Employees to account for 15.7% of the workforce, while the number employed by Industry fell by 710'000.
Over the same period – with figures starting before the financial slump and crash of the property market – the number of Spaniards employed in the construction sector was also shown to fall considerably.
