On a scale of 0 - 10, 10 being ' very important,' over 4 in 10 Spaniards said knowing the right people is key to getting ahead in life. This is the highest percentage among developed economies, though South Korea and the United States are not far behind. Networking is not nearly as prominent a factor, however, for the French, Greeks and Japanese.
