A key factor in this upward trend is the growth of the foreign workforce, which now accounts for 13.8% of the total affiliates. This group saw a 6.8% increase, far outpacing the 1.4% growth seen among Spanish nationals in the local labor market.
The service sector remains the primary employer with 5,760 affiliations, growing by 4.4%. In contrast, agriculture suffered a 5.6% drop, falling to 425 affiliates, while the industrial sector remained largely unchanged compared to the previous year.
Demographic data shows that female employment is rising faster than male employment, with a 3.1% increase. Additionally, while there is a notable 5.4% rise in workers under 30, the number of affiliates over 55 also continues to grow, highlighting an aging workforce trend.
