| creating more jobs can only be good for everyone |
The El Mundo newspaper is reporting that 7,000 of these jobs
will be for general state administrations, along with another 3,360 positions
opening for the judiciary.
4,000 jobs will go to the Spanish civil service, social
security, and tax authority institutions as Madrid is looking to boost the
ability of the government in key areas.
It’s expected that many of these prospective roles will be
announced – and potentially filled – by the end of the year. If this is the
case, it would be one of the most powerful recruitment drives ever by a Spanish
government. The vice president of CSI-F – the majority union in the Central
State Administration – spoke to El Pais; saying that the plan looks to ensure
the viability of the administration which has seen young staff decimated in the
past six years.
The official data shows that only 1,388 of the 190,858
public sector workers in Spain are under 30 years old. This statistic shows not
only how public sector roles have been the domain of the old and connected
Spaniard, but also the need for a fresh young mindset and new ideas.
This doesn’t help that absolutely zero public sector roles
have been created in the country since 2010. Spain has been dealing with
austerity since 2010, but the current economy is holding strong and prospects
are good, giving the government the freedom to bolster the public sector while
they can.
