Madrid (EFE).- Social Security has gained an average of 206,410 affiliates in March in the largest increase for this month of the entire historical series; while unemployment has fallen by 48,755 people to 2.86 million, the lowest figure for a March since 2008.
According to the data provided by the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migrations, this increase in employment leaves the total number of average affiliates at 20,376,552, the highest in the series, which began to be published in these average figures in 2001.
Regarding the number of people registered in the offices of the State Public Employment Service (SEPE), the Ministry of Labor highlights that the drop in unemployment in March, a month in which hiring begins to be activated in the face of the strongest months of the tourist season, is “especially positive” in an economic context of uncertainty.
