Spotlight on Spain: Buenas noticias
Article Abstract:
Economic prosperity in Spain has slowed in 1997 following accelerated growth when the country was accepted into the European Economic Community in 1986. The country's unemployment jumped to 25% and growth of gross domestic product plummeted to -1.2% in 1993 as multinational firms balked at restrictive labor laws and started shutting down their Spanish plants. Almost 95% of Spain's lawmakers voted for an Aug 1997 landmark labor reform accord offering employers more flexibility in hiring.
