Public employment in Spain is increasingly viewed as a viable and attractive career path, driven by high market prices and precarity in many professional sectors. Federico, a retired civil servant, shares his experience in an interview with NoticiasTrabajo, emphasizing the stability and benefits of working for the government compared to the private sector.

Federico, who worked as a teacher before retiring, points out that while salary is often considered primary, stability is what truly attracts many citizens to prepare for competitive civil service examinations. He states, 'There, no one fires you, and besides, you get paid well. Any company can go bankrupt, close down, and you’re out on the street.' [1]

Even after retirement, the virtues of public service remain evident. Federico currently receives a monthly pension of 2,300 euros, a sum that enables him to save during times of rising daily costs. He encourages those interested in securing their future to consider public sector careers. [1]
