 | | Telefonica de Espana SA, as the domestic unit is called, had 40,659 workers in December, about a fourth of the group's total workforce. |
 | | Telefonica's sales per employee fell 3 percent to about 186,000 euros ($216,000) last year, the first decline in at least four years, according to Bloomberg data, leaving the company behind some of its rivals. |
