Meseria de care tinerii din Spania fug: firmele caută 20.000 de specialiști

Spain faces a significant shortage of over 20,000 welders due to retirements and a lack of young professionals. This high demand has led to increased salaries, with some welders earning thousands monthly. Many companies struggle to find qualified workers, prompting a reliance on automation. The aging workforce exacerbates the issue, as over 12% of industrial employees are over 60. In 2024, welders topped the list of technical contracts signed, highlighting the urgent need for skilled labor. Salaries range from €1,800 to €2,500 monthly, with advanced certifications allowing earnings over €5,000. Sergio Bog, a seasoned welder, emphasizes the reluctance of people to enter this profession.
