About Barcelona's jobs market

About Barcelona's jobs market

Barcelona remains Spain's primary startup hub by volume, capturing €1.37 billion in investment in 2025 - nearly double that of Madrid. The city has cultivated a unique brand as a lifestyle and tech destination, attracting a highly international workforce, particularly in consumer tech, gaming, and creative industries.

Barcelona commands a 12.4% overall salary premium versus the rest of Spain (€45,175 vs €40,202), confirming its status as a premium hub. However, despite its progressive image, Barcelona struggles with gender equity; the gender pay gap stands at 29.4%, higher than most major European cities, and significantly worse than Madrid (26.2%) or London (22.5%).

Companies like Factorial, TravelPerk, Bitpanda, Lodgify, and Preply use Ravio to navigate this competitive landscape, using data to build fairer, more attractive compensation packages that stand out in a crowded local market.
