85.3% of the 5,265 labor contracts signed in September in Lanzarote were signed in Arrecife and in the tourist municipalities of Yaiza, Tías and Teguise. The greater hotel presence in these three municipalities means that they reach hiring percentages higher than their population weight.
Arrecife, where around 41% of Lanzarote residents live, added 30.7% of the contracts, with a hiring ratio lower than its population percentage at the island level.
Yaiza, however, with 1,163 new contracts adds 22% of the total contracts, when its population only represents 11% of the island.
Also Tías, where 985 labor contracts were signed last month, showed a labor dynamism above its population weight. Its percentage of the total contracts on the island of 18.7% when its population represents 13.2% of the total of Lanzarote.
Teguise is the municipality where the ratio of contracts is most adjusted to that of population, although slightly below its demographic weight, which represents 14.5% of the island's population.

Permanent contracts return to maximums
Of the 5,263 new labor contracts, 3,298 were permanent, which represents 63% of the total. This recovers the maximum that had been registered in May, after slight falls during the summer.
