This is estimated by mid-month analysis. membership information Social Security, presented by the ministry in charge of this competition, is already an x-ray that presents a very similar pattern to a pre-Covid July.

As the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs reminded Inclusion, Social Security and Immigration, José Luis Escrivá, the hospitality industry had significant growth before covid, but it was the productive fabric that was hit hardest by the pandemic and its derivatives. 300,000 jobs were destroyed in a few months, he said. However, Escrivá said that occupancy rates in this region have “recovered more than 20% from the lowest levels reached in the winter of 2020-2021” and that “by this July, we will have reached pre-pandemic levels.” About 1.7 million workers. In any case, the occupations that create the most employment are: computing and scientific activities.

Based on data that is always seasonal (that is, it takes into account the characteristics of the month and time of year), this figure is much lower than in June, when the statistic grew by more than 115,000 people; slightly lower than in July of last year (91,500 new employees) or even the same month before the pandemic (15,500 new members).
“July one month less and less seasonal “Habits are changing: Junes are rising and Joules are falling,” he added, noting that it is likely that the peak for hiring will gradually move to June or even June. blessed week.
Indefinite contract
In any case, this government official continued the optimistic reading. “These first seven months of the year are seven months, with average growth in employment similar to growth between 2017 and 2019,” Escrivá said.decantation for indefinite contracts“.
By their calculations, 10% more such contracts are signed than would have been if job reform had not been agreed, a gap that continues to grow in sectors dominated by temporary employment: food and drink, somebody Accommodation Services and one of them building. He also said, “If we look at all contracts registered with Social Security, measure from the beginning of this year to July 18 and compare with the pre-pandemic and labor reform, the average duration of the contracts is between 19 and 23 days,” he said, adding that this increase in indefinite contracts is not imaginary. , but stressed to show that it has been translated. more stability and durability.
