Since the beginning of confinement, unemployment has risen again, although to a lesser extent than in the previous months. In the CAV, unemployment rose by 2.2% in May and 31.6% in Navarre. The ELA trade union underlines that “urgent measures are needed to ensure that jobs are not destroyed”

The most affected, the young

ELA has also stressed that the increase in unemployment has affected young people under 25 years of age and has called on the Basque Government and the Government of Navarre to take measures to "not destroy thousands of companies and jobs in the short term". To this end, an agreement between all trade unions, employers and the Basque Government or the Government of Navarra is essential.”
