CEOE CEPYME Cuenca notes that unemployment and employment rise simultaneously due to the increase in the active population
The analysis of employment data reveals an apparent paradox: the simultaneous rise in both employment and unemployment indicates a substantial increase in the labor force. This dynamic, characterized by seasonality and the large-scale entry of young people into the labor market, shows that job creation during the summer season was insufficient to absorb all new labor demand. Although the figures show an year-on-year improvement in employment, the increase in unemployment suggests that the local economy has not yet generated stable jobs for all those seeking work. Business organizations emphasize that, despite overall positive trends, immediate support is needed for self-employed workers and businesses to encourage investment and ensure that economic growth translates into high-quality, durable employment. This case is relevant to open data because it illustrates how interpreting complex statistics requires understanding the relationships between variables, rather than examining them in isolation. Data transparency enables the identification of such discrepancies and a deeper understanding of the real impact of economic policies. Moreover, it facilitates informed public debate on the need for structural measures, fostering a more aware civil society regarding labor challenges and the tools available to address them.
