The nation's government provides data that speaks of 92% of temporary contracts during December 2017. Of these, 46% refer to contracts lasting one week or less.

"It does not seem serious to talk about economic recovery when workers endure this level of precariousness in employment."

In total, part-time contracts represent 34% of those created in this period.

In the words of the councilor of municipal training, Ignacio Tornel, "we all know that the part-time contract hides many times an indefinite schedule, with hours off the contract that are not even estimated as overtime."

These extra hours, in turn, 53% are not paid to workers either.

"It is not just about data but about analyzing the quality of employment in the face of social justice, the ability of workers to autonomy."

In this sense, the region of Murcia has gone from the fifth worst place to the next to last in relation to the rest of the Autonomous Communities as far as the average salary is concerned.

"The average salary of a worker from Murcia is 13.4% lower than the average of the rest of the workers in our country, specifically, 27% lower than the average salary in the Basque Country."

According to data from the EPA, we are the penultimate Autonomous Community in terms of job creation.

In light of these data, it is not difficult to understand the effort of the PP for "a stable job", as defined by the Councilor for Employment, Jesús Pacheco.

"Everything seems to indicate that precarious salaries and hiring are the general and stabilized trend in terms of job creation, in a unique way in our region."

At the municipal level, there is still much to be done in policies to attract companies to our territory.

For example, through initiatives to improve the conditions of industrial estates (proposal appeared in the first session of the City's Social Council) From the City Council, revitalizing a public offer of employment that reduces the interim rate.

"If in macroeconomic terms you can defend an inversion of the trend, these data clearly demonstrate that the weight of the crisis is still borne by the working class, which has not stopped suffering unemployment, exclusion by gender or age. , or the other side of the same coin: poverty wages, devalued working conditions and precarious contracts "said Tornel.
