Summary
Spain faces a shortage of over 20,000 welders as experienced specialists retire and young workers shun the trade, according to industry reports. Companies are struggling to fill positions despite rising wages, with some welders now earning thousands of euros per month due to high demand.
The welding sector's aging workforce and lack of interest among younger generations have created a critical gap. Employers are actively seeking new talent, but the profession's image as physically demanding and less prestigious deters many potential candidates.
