The Councilor for Employment of the City of Lorca, Eulalia Ibarra, reported that "unemployment has fallen in Lorca 11.52% in the last twelve months, two points above the national average and a point and a half over the regional, Which stood at 9.68 and 9.92% respectively. "

Ibarra stressed that "with the decrease in unemployment in the municipality faster than in the rest of the Region and the country, during the last year the number of unemployed has dropped by 722 and in the last four years by 2,521 people, Which means more than 31% ".

The mayor explained that "although over the past 12 months there have been 3 slight increases in unemployment, in the other 9 months unemployment has fallen in significant numbers, so we can speak of a clear downward trend in unemployment Which confirms that we are on the right track although we will not relax. "

In fact, job creation in interannual terms occurs in all sectors, especially services and especially construction, a sector that has gone from having 1,431 unemployed before the earthquakes to 472 today.

This shows the positive impact that the public investments that are being made for the transformation of the municipality are having in the Lorca economy.

The mayor has said that "as long as there is a stop in the municipality, and there are now 5,543, the main priority of the administrations will be to help you find a job or to boost your own business project, for which we continue to increase the available means of advice, Nurseries, business incentives, ...
