The year
2021
has resulted in the creation of
840,600
jobs in Spain,
reaching
20,184,900 employed
, but that has not prevented the number of
unemployed
in the country from continuing to be
3,103,800
at the end of the fourth quarter, despite falling in the year by 616,000 people, according to the Active Population Survey (EPA) published this Thursday by the INE.
With this evolution of the labor market, the
unemployment rate
stood at 13.33% at the end of the year, compared to 16.13% a year earlier, but
youth
unemployment - unemployment of those under 25 years of age - It continues to stand at
38.14%
, among the highest in Europe, although ten points below the value registered a year ago (48.33%).
These data published today complement the latest published by the Ministry of Social Security and the Ministry of
Affiliated Work and Registered Unemployment
, relating to December, according to which job creation was 776,000 people last year and unemployment reached 3,105,905 people to close it.
The difference between one and the other is that the EPA is a statistic based on a sample, while the Ministries collect information in real time on registrations and withdrawals from the system and movements on the SEPE lists (the old Inem).
In the
fourth quarter
of the year, the number of employed persons increased by
153,900
, below the forecasts of analysts who predicted a rebound in employment of around 200,000 workers, due to the
omicron effect and the slowdown in activity.
