Tenerife It has 33,000 more workers than before the covid-19 crisis, with the year 2019 as a reference. The insular economy also consolidates its leadership in the region, since it already exceeds Gran Canaria by 28,000 jobs. The Island creates 6,762 jobs more than the other capital compared to four years ago. The president of the Tenerife Cabildo, Pedro Martín, acknowledges that “in this area, there is still a lot to be done, but there are reasons to rejoice.”

He adds that “we have the best data in many years. The figures, compared to Gran Canaria, are really good in Tenerife, with 28,000 more people working here. I believe that we are on the right path and the measures that have been adopted at the national, regional and insular level are on the right track; In this line, we are going to continue working to continue improving the data of employment on our island.”

Pedro Martín details some of the measures that the Cabildo de Tenerife has implemented during this mandate and that have had good results, like the three municipal employment plans “with all the municipalities of Tenerife”; the Barrios por el empleo program, which has achieved, for the second consecutive year,overcoming the barrier of 1,000 people with difficult job placement who have been given access to a job, or the training provided through Fifede, aimed at meeting current labor market demands.

On the other hand, Pedro Martín recalls that a new line of aid will be launched to promote the hiring of personnel by companies. This is a line of incentives that will cover up to 90% of the Minimum Interprofessional Salary (SMI) for a period of six months, up to a maximum of two contracts per company.

54

Millions of euros

The Cabildo de Tenerife does not have direct competence in employment but, as its president, Pedro Martín, affirms, “we have exceeded 54 million in these years in promotion.”

“Initially we have a budget of two million euros, which may be increased throughout the year, depending on the response of the companies,” said the president, who added that “Priority will be given to small and medium-sized companies and to the hiring of those people who have more difficulties of insertion, among other criteria.”

Martín stressed that “employment is a cross-sectional area, since they all go there.” He added that “we have no competition, but we have exceeded 54 million euros these four years in the promotion.” Martín appreciated that “with support for small businesses and the self-employed to recover jobs that disappeared during the pandemic.”

He delved into supporting the primary sector “with aid to farmers, fishermen and ranchers to collaborate so that farms are not closed.” He was satisfied with the “employment programs with the 31 municipalities, not only for laborers, which is fine, but for those who have finished a degree and can be hired.” He understands that “we have to get more jobs through training” and that is why “we have multiplied the money for scholarships, up to ten million euros.” He clarifies that “Our line of work involves expanding the range of alternatives, through agreements with the Chamber, the University of La Laguna (ULL) or other institutions that help us find job opportunities for our people.

Tenerife has 382,960 members registered with Social Security, while in Gran Canaria there are 354,384. In other words, on this Island there are 28,576 more employed people than on Gran Canaria. From 2019 to 2023, 33,7032 jobs have been created in Tenerife and 26,941 in Gran Canaria. As for job seekers, both islands are equal, with 38 fewer people. Tenerife (April of this year), 77,760 and Gran Canaria, 77,798. On this island the variation compared to April of the previous year (86,482) is 10.1% less compared to the 8% decrease in Gran Canaria (84,542).

“The best employment data for many years in Tenerife”, sums up Pedro Martín. The president of the Cabildo sentence: «Less unemployed than in 2019, when we came to government, and more affiliated with Social Security. It is not only our merit, but we have contributed to making these numbers possible.

Process to alleviate temporary

The Cabildo de Tenerife, through the Presidency, Treasury and Modernization, began the process to make 1,055 workers permanent. Of them, 405 belonging to the local Corporation and another 650, from the dependent public sector. Until now they held temporary jobs of a structural nature. It is the balance of the stabilization process developed to reduce temporary employment and thereby contribute to improving public service and the attention provided to citizens. The Island Corporation has been the first to Canary Islands to initiate the procedure to carry out the stabilization of the positions and comply with Law 20/2021, of December 28, on urgent measures to reduce temporary employment in public employment. This regulation includes structural positions occupied temporarily and uninterruptedly during certain periods established in it. | JDM
