As regards the economic crisis, especially the decline in the real estate field, the Spanish authorities have said that the Romanians on the Spanish labor market are affected like all other employees in this country and that the government is looking for solutions for their professional conversion or for helping them open a business.
Vice mayor on social problems in Castellon, Carmen Amoros, explained that the Romanians who have so far went to Spain have integrated very well there.
There are officially 750,000 Romanians in Spain but their real number is estimated at over one million. As many as 150,000 Romanians are working in the field of constructions or services and the others in agriculture or as independent.
