Spain reported an employment change of -22,900 for March 2026, missing the consensus estimate of 10,300. The March figure marks a sharp reversal from February’s increase of 3,600 jobs. This decline interrupts the recent trend of modest employment gains, signaling renewed weakness in the Spanish labor market. The drop was most pronounced in the services sector, which saw the largest job losses during the month. March’s reading is well below the 12-month rolling average of 19,100, underscoring persistent challenges amid broader economic uncertainty. Market participants now await upcoming eurozone labor data and European Central Bank communications for further direction. Updated 4/6/26
