Pending global context
From CEOE Aragón, its general director, Jesús Arnau, has explained that the unemployment data for the month of November in Aragón “breaks a trend that destroys employment in this month in the last 10 years.”
However, Arnau has pointed out that “We are expectant about the evolution of the European economies, and especially Germany because the great opening of the Aragonese economy and its industry means that its situation greatly influences our exports, primarily in the automotive and capital goods sector.
Furthermore, it has highlighted the need for Aragonese companies to fill jobs in traditional occupations such as industry, hospitality or construction as in new technologies. Positions that are more difficult to fill in rural areas despite the importance of companies as backbones of the territory.
Given this situation, he has pointed out the need to especially guide young people towards the most in-demand professions by companies, apart from promoting employment in rural areas with active policies and actions linked to housing, services or communications, among others.
For its part, from Cepyme Aragón, its president, María Jesús Lorente, has requested training measures to reduce structural unemployment. “There are many valid people who are unemployed with different skills than those that the labor market currently requires. We have to train these people to respond to the needs of companies,” he added.
More active policies
The reactions to the unemployment data have also come from the main union organizations in Aragon. From UGT Aragón, its secretary, José Juan Arcéiz, has warned of the territorial distribution of unemployment, which is why he has advocated for active regional policies when knowing the data on registered unemployment and affiliation to Social Security.
The general secretary of CCOO Aragón, Manuel Pina, has stated that “the figures of the Aragonese labor market they maintain imbalances that must be worked on“.
Along these lines, he has highlighted the “gender differences, where female unemployment is double that of men; sectoral, where services account for 70% of unemployment; and in the improvement of the quality of employment. Although temporary employment has decreased, it maintains a high percentage with 64.77% of the total, which denotes an abuse of the eventual and partial contract”.
