MS must be heavily invested in Spanish bonds. There should be mandatory disclosures when a company like MS makes these type announcements.

They must be heavily invested in something Spanish because this is utter nonsense.

The Germans actually work. By the time you get the Spaniards to produce the same, your lower hourly wages will have gone up in smoke and your product will be weeks late.

"Spain is set to take Germany's place as the strongman of Europe" is easily the most ignorant statement of day.

How do I get job that allows the demonstration of such incompetence?

Too many negative comments here.

If the productivity of a Spaniard's is 0.7x that of a German's, it's all right if he gets paid at the same lower rate. It's better if the pay rate is even lower than that. That's likely the case because the businesses moving into Spain aren't stupid; they must have done their homework.

Once again, I must say, before you make any decisions about Spain, I strongly suggest a visit to the country. After one week in Spain you will see why the country is in a fantastic position to grow strong. They have debt but they have pristine infrastructure to show for it. We, in the U.S. have debt and we have pot holes to show for it. Think outside the box and you might actually acquire some wealth some day.
