Spain’s government may deepen the overhaul of labor laws that prompted a general strike last year after taking advice from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said.
Speaking in an interview with Bloomberg Television, Rajoy said the government is assessing the impact of the 2012 overhaul and will submit the review to the OECD. The Paris-based organization has repeatedly proposed more radical steps to reduce the country’s 26 percent unemployment rate, such as moving toward a single contract for all types of job.
