Table with a heatmap showing the distribution of the working population by sector of activity for people aged between 25 and 59 in the fourth quarter of 2024. The labour market participation of European immigrants in Spain varies according to their country of origin. The descendants of former Spanish emigrants show a sectoral distribution very similar to that of the native-born population, with a slightly higher presence in the manufacturing sector. Those from high-income countries are particularly prominent in the hospitality sector, professional services and private education, whilst their presence in the civil service is very limited. Meanwhile, immigrants from countries with a lower per capita income are concentrated mainly in construction, the hospitality sector and domestic service, and EU nationals in this group also have a notable presence in agriculture and transport.
