Figures
Show This Was the Best March Ever for Spanish Job Creation
 |
| Great news for spain as a whole |
Data from the Labour Ministry of Spain was published this
week that shows why there is such certainty about this recovery. The figures
for March show that Spain created more jobs this March than in any other March
since records began.
A total of 48,500 Spaniards entered the workforce in March,
with the figure soaring above 392,000 for the past 12 months. This equates to
everybody in a mid-sized city being given a brand-new job.
Eurostat suggest that the figure could be even higher. They
feel that over half a million Spaniards have entered the working world over the
past year; which is the equivalent of the entire population of Malaga.
The total amount of Spaniards not working has dropped down
to just four million. The most striking thing is that, during the past 12
months, some 1.2 million new jobs were created in the entire 19-member strong
Eurozone. This would mean that Spain was responsible for around half of
everyone employed during this time period.
There are a wider range of jobs on offer in the country too.
The amount of indefinite contracts has risen by 18% across the past year,
outperforming growth in the temporary employment sector; which increased 14.5%.
This would appear to symbolise a growing confidence in the long-term growth of
the country.
As far as industries go; it was the construction sector of Spain that had the best growth in March. The construction sector was
responsible for some 2.44% of the jobs created; putting it ahead of every other
sector.
