UGT says creating jobs "is not enough" and that wages and access to housing must be improved

The historical record of employment in Castilla-La Mancha shows a significant increase in the active population and a reduction in unemployment. This quantitative growth reflects an improvement in labor absorption, although trade unions point out that the volume of jobs does not necessarily guarantee decent working conditions. Inflation far outpaces wage increases, eroding purchasing power and particularly affecting housing. To correct this imbalance, it is urgent to update the minimum wage and strengthen collective bargaining. Only in this way can we ensure that employment is of good quality and allows workers to access their own homes without suffering from energy or housing poverty. This report is crucial for the transparency of public labor data, enabling verification of the gap between job creation and quality of life. By highlighting how macroeconomic indicators do not translate into real well-being, it underscores the need for evidence-based policies. Open data facilitates the defense of labor rights, demonstrating that freedom of information is essential to demand structural reforms that protect the most vulnerable in the face of the current economic crisis.
