The summer campaign will generate 21,110 contracts in the Canary Islands, 9.7% more than during the summer period of last year - when there were 19,240 - according to Randstad's hiring forecasts, which highlights that the archipelago is, after the Balearic Islands, the autonomous community with the lowest increase in employment in the country.
By provinces, in Las Palmas the increase will be 7.9% with 11,390 jobs - in the summer of 2020 there were 10,560 - and in Santa Cruz de Tenerife the increase will be 11.9% with 9,710 jobs, compared to the 8,679 that existed in the same period of the previous year.
In Spain as a whole, the summer campaign will generate 438,550 contracts, 20.7% more than during the summer period of last year, a figure that will be at 2015 levels. However, Randstad has explained that the figure will still be almost 30% below the volume reached in 2019, when the level of contracts exceeded 621,000 signatures.
Randstad recalled that since 2012 the volume of contracts in summer has not stopped growing, until reaching more than 621,000 reached in 2019. However, the irruption of Covid caused the indicator to plummet in 2020 to 363,242 signatures, although advances in vaccination and the lifting of health restrictions will favor its increase this year.
By regions, although almost all autonomous communities will see their hiring figures grow, Castilla-La Mancha (+31%), Aragon (+27.1%) and Cantabria (+25.7%) will lead the growth this summer compared to last year. They are followed by Catalonia (+24.6%), Galicia (+24.2%), Murcia (+24%), Asturias (+22.6%), Andalusia (+22.2%), Madrid (+21%), Valencian Community (+20.7%) and the Basque Country (+20.3%).
Increases will also be recorded in Extremadura (+16.7%), Navarra (+15.5%), La Rioja (+13.5%), Castilla y León (+12.2%), Canary Islands (+9.7%) and Balearic Islands (+5.2%).
In absolute terms, Andalusia (90,640), Catalonia (62,790), the Valencian Community (48,070) and Madrid (46,500) will be the autonomous communities where more professionals will be incorporated and will account for 56.5% of the total summer hiring.
