The registered unemployment data that were released yesterday in the country as a whole by the Ministry of Employment and Social Security show a slight decline in unemployment in the municipality of Lorca, which still affects 5574 people.
This reduction essentially focuses on very young workers, who enter the labor market with temporary, precarious and low-paid contracts, linked to the seasonality of the primary and service sectors.
According to Sosa, jobs are cracking and where previously there was a relatively fixed and reasonably paid job, it is now turning into several partial, precarious and underpaid work contracts.
The Spanish labor system after the last two labor reforms (the PSOE and the PP) is a factory to produce poor workers, and this reality that is so throughout the country, is even worse in Lorca given the weight in The productive model of Lorca has the lowest paid economic sectors and with less added value such as agriculture and services.
For the mayor of IU-V we would miss the diagnosis of the employment situation in Lorca if we only saw the figures of unemployment, which rise or fall, without entering into the quality of employment that exists, and how jobs are lost Certain quality that are replaced by garbage contracts.
That is what is happening in our municipality, and if that is the labor dynamic of Lorca we should not be surprised at all that we are the third poorest city in Spain of more than 50,000 inhabitants.
It is strange that if we reanalyzed figures we have not climbed positions and are even worse.
On the other hand, and returning to the exact number of registered unemployment, Sosa warns that the real unemployment is still higher than the 5574 people who are unemployed as Lorca in the offices of the SEF in our city, since the most real data is the one Offers us the survey of active population (EPA) that is always higher, since not all unemployed are registered in public offices.
There is less and less incentive to be there since there are very high percentages of unemployed who do not receive any benefits, and these offices are also less and less the necessary channel to find employment.
In addition to this, Pedro Sosa wants the councilor for employment to provide concrete data on ups and downs in social security, number of hirings and quality of the same.
This is the only way to correctly assess the employment situation in Lorca, as it is not at all strange that registered unemployment may be falling while the number of members of social security is decreasing.
In any case, for the councilman of IU-V even more important that the unemployment data are the active employment policies that must be put in place to correct it, policies that currently, in the opinion of Sosa, are nonexistent in Lorca And on which the Councilor for Employment should also provide explanations.
