I wonder how much of that is gray economy. Greece has massive underreporting of anything tax and business related, because they don’t verify it. Farms and businesses don’t report actual sales, earnings, probably even employees (anecdotally from locals reporting of income is less than 10% of actual).
Spain has a problem with permanent labor given to senior employees with most youth being excluded from full time jobs. There is also some type of earn-in system to get to a full time job. If a lot of local industry is tourism, those can be filled with temporary work as well, that is probably not accounted for in these statistics.
