Mariano Rajoy, head of the Spanish government, announced on February 25 at the big Parliament debate on the state of the nation, a series of measures designed to boost the employment market. One is the reduction of social contributions with a fixed sum, €100 per month, for recruiting someone with a permanent contract. Rajoy also promised a reform of vocational training and announced a new, single employment portal that should start working in April.
At a time when the country seems to be gradually getting out of the crisis, the government is trying to reboot the labor market and combat a landmark unemployment rate, with 26 percent of the active population without a job. To that end, Rajoy announced a major cut to social contributions, which came into force that very day (February 25).
