Summary
Spain's labor market set a new record in June 2025, adding 128,533 new Social Security affiliates to surpass 22.46 million total workers, driven largely by foreign employment (86,630 new foreign affiliates) in hospitality and commerce sectors at the start of the summer season. Unemployment fell to 2.29 million, the lowest level since January 2008. The government attributes the growth partly to a regularization process that has brought undocumented employment into the formal economy.
