• Erik Domínguez, Employment spokesman, points out the drop in the service sector and tourism due to the pandemic, but highlights the increase in self-employed workers, which places Andalusia "on the brink of leading the national scene", thanks to the measures of the government of Juanma Moreno
The spokesman for Employment of the Popular Group in the Parliament of Andalusia, Erik Domínguez, has indicated today that the increase of 0,3% of the arrest in the community in the month of December "has been conditioned by the pandemic, which has caused a drop in the service sector and tourism, which traditionally yielded good data on these dates"; and has demanded that the government of Pedro Sánchez approve an extension of the ERTE "at least until the month of May, and with a budget", as well as "the approval of national plans with direct aid, as the government of Andalusia has done in Juanma Moreno”.
Domínguez has stated that "although these data are not good, there are figures that make us see some light", and has indicated that the rise in unemployment in December in Andalusia is below the national average; but especially he has alluded to the increase in the number of self-employed.
In this sense, he stressed that Andalusia "is only 700 self-employed to surpass the first community, which is Catalonia, with which we are on the verge of leading the national scene."
The popular spokesman has attributed this increase "to the courage and innate talent to undertake of the Andalusian people", and also to the measures put in place by the executive of Juanma Moreno, "who has not stopped offering an outstretched hand and a red carpet to the entrepreneurship," he concluded.
