  • Tourism wages in Barcelona 2018

    The Municipal Data Office of the Barcelona City Council presents this report that provides new data on the wages of people who work in the city's tourism sector. Based on the exploitation and analysis of the salary information from the Continuous Sample of Working Lives (MCVL), it offers, in the first place, a brief summary of the profile of workers in the sector. It also analyzes the salary structure in detail, based on the personal characteristics of the workers and other variables related to their jobs. The salary differences between women and men in the sector are also analyzed, as well as the evolution of the purchasing power of employees between 2010 and 2018, to end by briefly addressing the phenomenon of ‘mileurismo’ (referring to those people who earn 1,000 euros per month) tourism.
