UNEMPLOYMENT GRADUALLY DECREASING,
The latest news from Spain and the Costa Blanca,
Unemployment in Spain fell by 1.5% or 55,250 people in June, according to the official figures just released by the employment agency INEM. It's the second consecutive monthly fall and is in contrast to a rise of nearly 37,000 unemployed in June last year. The number fell by 25,000 in May this year. The Secretary General for Employment, Maravilla Rojo, described the number as ‘good news'. Madrid was the only region of the country where unemployment did not fall last month. Observers say that much of the fall is thanks to the start of the tourism season, as well as the Government's Plan E stimulus plan. There are now 3,564,889 people out of work, according to the Spanish Ministry for Employment, and over the past 12 months 1,174,465 have joined the lists of the unemployed.
