"...Portugal has long based its growth on low-skill, low-pay sectors such as textiles and footwear, which together employ around 300,000 people. However, these are now up against higher-skilled, lower-paid competition from new EU members in eastern Europe, and from outside the 25-nation bloc... Analysts warned that getting Portugal back on track would not be simple, and would require potentially unpopular measures that would affect key sectors of the economy. Some believe the public administration's 750,000-strong work force needs cutting, that state schools must improve standards and that the inefficient legal system needs reform."
