The mayor, José Manuel Penalva Casanova, stated in this regard that “the notable drop in unemployment and the increase in Social Security affiliations are great news for our people. You have to go back to July 2008, before the brick crisis, to find similar figures”.
By sectors, the contracts carried out in the service and industrial sectors predominate, alternating their superiority depending on the month. On the other hand, the sector with the least presence is agriculture, followed by construction.

And he adds that, “having a permanent job is essential for people to be able to have stability and create a life project with a view to the future.”
