Spain also, you get a relatively high portion of your salary (80%?) for 2 years if you're fired/laid off.

Wow, that's very generous. In Austria you usually get unemployment 50-60% of your wage for about 6 months depending how many years you worked.

Yes, it is. Another interesting thing from the local employment market is that an employee can't be fired for performance reasons (after the trial period). They can only fire someone for absense, HR problems or part of a group layoff (10% of workforce minimum at once).
