Government on rise in unemployment: “The figures are not good and we will not downplay them

The labor survey reflects an increase in unemployment, prompting the government to accelerate structural reforms and investment plans. This political response aims to revitalize the economy to generate sustainable employment, prioritizing infrastructure and hiring subsidies. The relevance to open data lies in the critical need for transparent access to figures from the National Institute of Statistics (INE). The data must be public and detailed to enable rigorous scrutiny of the labor situation, ensuring that statistical information serves as a verifiable basis for evaluating the effectiveness of implemented public policies. The government has presented multiple legislative initiatives and subsidy programs as solutions. However, true accountability requires that these advances be directly correlated with open and updated data. Only through the transparency of information can it be measured whether government measures are effectively reducing the reported unemployment gap.
