SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, July 28. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The president of the CEOE Tenerife, Pedro Alfonso Martín, highlighted this Thursday that the data from the Active Population Survey (EPA) are “positive”, since they are “based exclusively on the rise” in the tourism sector and the services that they go hand in hand with it, such as restaurants and commerce due to the “good data on occupation for the summer”.
Unemployment in the Canary Islands has decreased by 29,600 people between April and June 2022 to stand at 205,000 unemployed, in such a way that in relation to the previous quarter it has fallen by 12.60 percent.
For this reason, he has indicated in statements to the media that this is “good news” that allows us to glimpse that an economic recovery “will allow us to return to the path of recovering unemployment rates little by little towards much more acceptable levels”.
However, he has indicated that “there is still” “a lot” to work on changes in structural funds and income compensation for families, since he has stated that at this time “not only do we have to guarantee a job, but also the availability of his salary is around the same situation and the same capacity that he had before inflation ran amok”.
