More than half of the total cost of employing an average worker in Spain goes to public authorities, according to the Juan de Mariana Institute, a liberal think tank highly critical of the government.
The institute estimates the tax burden at €53.60 for every €100 in labour costs. The figure comes from a report the think tank describes as an "economic autopsy" of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's time in office, as reported by The Objective.
