02 March 2021 - 13:15

The Ministry of Labour and the ELA trade union highlight the data of the February unemployment: Compared to the previous month, the number of unemployed has decreased by 1,702 people in the CAV (-1.3%), while in Navarre it has increased by 825 (+3.02%).

Compared to last year, female unemployment has increased by 216 people (12.3%): The number of women unemployed is 96,668, according to the latest unemployment figures.

52.3% of unemployed people do not receive any kind of benefit

52.3% of unemployed persons received no unemployment benefit in January (90.181). And only 28% have received the contributory unemployment benefit.

The Basque Government considers that "despite the worst crisis of 80 years, since August, a different pattern has been observed from the first months of the pandemic and, above all, very different from the previous crises. Before the 2008 crisis, unemployment grew in February, just as it did in those years of crisis. On the contrary, unemployment fell in February since 2015, with the exception of the slight upturn in 2017, but to a lesser extent than this month. There are currently 10% more unemployed than a year ago, but 62% less than half a year ago," he said.
