Aragon registered An increase in the population employed in 2024, the fourth year in a rowreaching 620,000 people and reduced the number of unemployed until they become Unemployment level at 8.1%Field
“If the trend continues, Aragon can come close to full employment“Said President of the Economic and Social Council Aragon (Cesa) Juan Garcia Blasko during the presentation The annual report of the Economic Council of Aragon and the Social Council of Aragon 2024Field
However, despite this good evolution of the labor market, a series ProblemsThe field is one of the main ones is Long -term unemploymentwhich reaches 36% unemployed And that, in addition, in some cases it is focused on concrete stripes.
This is not the only one Temporary transmissionEspecially in Spain. In this case, as indicated in the report, in the third year since the entry into force of labor reform, an inter -day decrease in the number of hired people with a temporary contract has occurred (by 167,500 people, which was accompanied by an increase in the number of wages with an agreement of the ongoing duration (644.300). The increase in people with intermittent fixed contracts (more than 50 more than 50 is distinguished. 700).
However, in connection with the new registered contracts, this rebound of temporary contracts is assigned: 114,890 more in relation to 2023. A fact that contrasts with a decrease in uncertain contracts: 138.991. In the case of intermittent fixed contracts in its progress, a brake is observed, from 105,736 contracts less than in the previous year, reaching 2,208 030.
In the case of aragon, the percentage of the number of wages of the Aragon wages with temporary contracts amounted to 16.1% in 2024, after the reduction of 0.5 percentage points compared to the previous year (16.6%). Speed is still higher in women (20.3%) than in men (12.3%), it is also reduced in them, but it remains practically unchanged in the case of women.
Thus, temporality affects women, foreign people and who work in the public sector, personal services and agriculture, concentrating both in the initial and most qualified professions. Thus, in areas such as public administration, healthcare and education, there is a large frequency.
In addition to this restoration in temporaryness, another of the problems that will be solved in the labor market is biasThe fraction of the employees partially, in general terms, retreated, but differences are also observed on the floor. The level of addictions in the arago community is 12.7% compared with 13.6% of the country’s team, but In women, this increased to 22.4% (This is more than on average from Spain: 21.4%) compared to a decrease in men to 4.6%.
