Seville's Staffing Crisis: A Hospitality Business on the Brink

Seville Business Owner Faces Staffing Crisis: The struggle to find skilled workers is forcing Germán Franco, co-owner of the 400-employee hospitality company María Trifulca, to reconsider expansion plans. "We can't find waiters, electricians, or plumbers in Seville," Franco stated in a recent interview. This reflects a broader trend in Spain's labor market, with many businesses facing similar challenges in finding qualified personnel. The post-pandemic period has exacerbated this issue, with many workers seeking better work-life balance or different career paths. Franco's predicament highlights the urgent need for skilled worker training and recruitment strategies in the region. The future of María Trifulca, and other businesses like it, hangs in the balance.
