Bulgarians in Spain
Nearly 70% of the Bulgarian immigrants in Spain are employed.
The main part of them had no assured working place at their arrival in the country (76,8%) and they accomplished their departures through invitations from relatives or without preliminary preparation.

Employment according to the acquired qualification
• More than half of the immigrants work at places which require qualification similar to the qualification they have acquired, but 42,1% work at places which require lower qualification. There are disparities between the previous employment in Bulgaria and the present in Spain, especially for the qualified and highly qualified specialists, which demonstrates that Bulgarian immigrants lose qualification.

Employment by type of contract
• The prevailing part of the immigrants are insured and work with temporary or permanent employment contract, or as self employed. Not a small part of them, however, work without a contract (most of which women), in the grey sector of the Spanish economy, and 23,1% are unemployed.
