Murcia is among the first regions as a recipient of recruits from other communities.
We Spaniards are putting less and less trouble when it comes to moving to other regions to find a job, according to the latest Randstad report.
Based on data from the Public State Employment Service (SEPE), the Human Resources consultancy assures that in 2015, 2,383 million labor contracts were signed in our country that implied the mobility of the worker to another province, 13% more than a year before. .
This upward trend in labor mobility has been observed since 2013, reaching an increase of 42% from the lows of the crisis reached in 2009 (then, 1.68 million contracts involving the displacement of the worker were signed). But if we compare the data with those collected in the year 2000, the statistics skyrocket, since the number of contracts that require mobility has practically doubled, from 1.31 million to 2.38 million.
As can be seen in the graph prepared by the consultant, we are facing the best figures so far this century, both in total number of contracts that involve travel and in the annual mobility rate:
This is a piece of information that, despite the little sympathy it arouses, must be seen as positive.
Labor mobility has been one of the main recommendations that national and international organizations have made to Spain to make the labor market more flexible and reduce the chilling unemployment rate that it still supports, and which was one of the main handicaps to reduce it.
Agriculture and services, the spearheads
Randstad has also analyzed displacements in each of the economic sectors, among which agriculture and services stand out.
“Agriculture is the one with the highest mobility rate. One in five contracts signed in agriculture involves the displacement of the professional to another province. Specifically, 21.3% of the total contracts of this type. Construction is in second position, with a mobility rate of 15.7%, followed by services, with 11.2%; and industry, with 9.8%”.
On the other hand, if we compare the number of contracts signed, the most prominent sector is that of services. “More than 1.4 million professionals in this sector of activity have moved to another province. Agriculture is in the second position, with 24.5% of the contracts. It is followed by construction, with 7.8% of the total, and industry, with 7.7%”, adds the study.
Murcia ranks fourth among the regions that attract the most employees
In Spain, says the report, there are a total of 16 receiving provinces, which means that they receive more professionals than those who go to work in another area. And, without a doubt, the star is Madrid: in 2015 it achieved a positive balance of 206,163 employees. They were followed by Barcelona (55,520 workers), the Balearic Islands (39,717), and Murcia (25,013), which ranked fourth.
On the opposite side were Cádiz and Toledo, with negative balances of 46,901 and 41,577 workers respectively, followed by Seville (-22,671), Pontevedra (-22,671), Tarragona (-22,102), Alicante (-20,698) and Ciudad Real (-20,046). ).
