7/10 unemployed people in Malaga find a new job within less than a year

The latest report produced by the Andalusian Employment Service (SAE) shows that seven out of ten unemployed people in the province of Malaga find work within a year of losing their previous job.

The results of the report show that it is easier to find work in large coastal municipalities, such as Fuengirola, Torremolinos and Estepona. In these areas, the percentage of unemployed people who find a job within three months is more than 45 per cent, and three per cent higher in Estepona. Similarly, those who live in inland areas with few inhabitants also have a better chance of finding work within three months of becoming unemployed. Some examples are Cútar (80 per cent) and Salares (70 per cent).

DYNAMISM

On the whole, the figures for the province are positive and show the dynamism of the job market. More than half of the inhabitants of every one in five towns leave the dole queue in just 90 days, and some don’t even have to wait that long: according to the SAE, four out of ten unemployed people find work in less than three months.

On the other side of the coin is the group of so-called long-term unemployed which refers to people who have been out of work for more than a year. In the city of Malaga, there were 15,087 long-term unemployed in February (35 per cent of the total); 60 per cent of these people previously worked in the service sector, whilst 17 per cent had never had a job before. The unemployment rate in the province went up 0.51 per cent last month bringing Malaga’s long-term unemployed to 29,984, 70 per cent of whom were women.

Zapatero wins second term

Spain's socialist Prime Minister, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, squeaked through for a second term in general elections yesterday with a wafer-thin majority closely matching predictions and his victory four years ago.

With 97 per cent of votes counted last night, the Socialists won 169 seats, 44 per cent, and the PP 154 seats, 40 per cent. The result polarised Spain into, in effect, a two-party system, with an unprecedented marginalisation of smaller parties.

"Thank you, thank you for giving this clear victory for the Socialist Party. We've worked hard. It was worth it," Mr Zapatero told ecstatic supporters outside Socialist Party headquarters in Madrid. "Four years ago you told me not to fail you. I never forgot that."

Mr Zapatero said he had received congratulations from his conservative rival, Mariano Rajoy. "I want to thank Mariano Rajoy. He has earned my respect. Spaniards have ... opened a new stage, without tension or confrontation. I will consolidate the things we've done well, and correct mistakes," he promised.

The conservative Popular Party spokesman, Pio Escudero, conceded defeat with some 20 per cent of the vote still uncounted. "I want to congratulate the Socialist Party ... It seems that their victory is clear. But that the PP has achieved a great improvement in the number of votes and seats."

The victory was much narrower than socialists had hoped, and leaves Mr Zapatero well short of the absolute majority of 176 seats he craved. It barely liberates him from having to make pacts with smaller parties. The victory amounts to an endorsement of his record reforms, and of conceding more powers to Spain's autonomous regions.

For Mr Rajoy, the second consecutive defeat marks a crushing setback and is likely to increase pressure on him to quit as party chief.

With the marginalisation of fringe parties, the results have produced what a disappointed leader of the United Left party Gaspar Llamazares called "a tsunami of bi-party-ism". Conservative regional nationalist parties including Catalonia's Convergence and Union and the Basque nationalists party held up however, with 10 and six seats respectively. The Galician Nationalist Bloc kept its two seats.

But support for radical nationalist groupings in Catalonia and the Basque Country crumbled. The pro-independence Catalan Republican Left slumped from eight to three seats. The pro-communist United Left (IU) dropped from five to two seats. Conservative regional parties in Aragon and Navarra also lost seats.

Socialists started celebrating at party headquarters in Madrid soon after polls closed, and within an hour the street outside was jammed with euphoric supporters. "Zapatero, you didn't fail us," they chanted. The mood cooled as the gap narrowed but renewed to give Mr Zapatero a rapturous reception.

Jubilation dispelled the grief that had overshadowed the elections since the shooting of a former Socialist councillor in the Basque country on Friday. The bursting of Eta gunmen upon the scene brought terrorist violence to the top of the political agenda, and is thought to have spurred Spaniards to a high turnout. The general election coincided with regional elections in Andalucia, in which Socialists retained their fourth successive absolute majority ■
