Canaries register the least fixed job contracts
The Canary Islands were the Spanish region that registered the smallest increase in indefinite job contracts between July 2006 and March 2007, compared to the same period a year before. In Spain as a whole, over 1.8 million indefinite contracts were registered, almost a 48% increase, in the nine months since labor reforms came into force. Despite not being a seasonal tourist destination, temporary contracts and thus, insecure jobs, have been a major problem for workers on these islands.
The same report informs us that the number of foreigners registered with the Social Security in Spain (as job holders and contributors to the fund), at March 31st, was 1,927,347, an increase of 2,71%. Of the total, some 1,311,859 are from countries outside of the EU and just 615,488 come from countries in the European Union.
