How the EPA buried without being noticed – Republica.com

war of numbers is intensifying at times, not in vain in tins doors elections, European, broad spectrum (affecting the entire electorate and, in that sense, are of general scope) and there to sharpen the arguments to prove merits. But regardless of partisan debate, if at all possible, it seems clear that the flood of figures on the Spanish economy latter dates, along with those to come in the immediate reasons for strict calendar has generated controversy, skepticism, illusions and conclusions for everyone.

is human and understandable that the Government intends to forget, and even overcome evil bury the body as soon as they have left us all disappointing EPA figures (Survey Force, quarterly statistics produced by the INER and has the most awards accredited by entrenched and rigor), for the simple reason that they have not been a tasteful dish: too destroyed jobs in an economy that seemed to be emerging from the crisis and that is possibly sdaliendo, but those are not ways. People do not understand the economy improves when employment is destroyed in such high doses.

This coming Monday will appear on the top new data on the Spanish economy and in particular on the core of the matter these days concerns us all, employment. On Monday it plans to publish the register of unemployed Ministry of Employment and affiliate stats to Social Security. Both the freshest possible data, April. Two important statistics, but of a different nature.

The ideal is to refer the sum of ratings that can provide these official statistics and complement them with the EPA to establish a fair and reasonable conclusion the economic and social point of the country. There is undoubtedly a remarkable difference, the EPA figures correspond to the first quarter of the year and the other two, cooler, are April, including this time a much more up to date information and certainly incorporating the effect of seasonal upturn activity contributed by the Easter holidays.

If you take the EPA is unfair as Solo and infallible scale labor partner country currently receive would not use the figures next Monday as a factor of authority to take ground the findings of the survey. In particular if the figures next Monday featuring a pink and positive work status of the Spanish economy at present scenario. It seems that the figures of registered unemployment and high social security in April freshly finished are good, even very good, which should be welcomed. But praise this second wave of labor statistics to blur the grim picture of the EPA would be both unfair and wrong.

The stark reality is easily deduced from the three sources mentioned official statistics, viewed as a whole without improper bias tells us very clearly that the Spanish unemployment rate still find unacceptable and that the economy is not yet laying the foundation for a sustained recovery in employment. Above technical and political disputes that obscure the necessary debate on job creation in Spain, the Government and the social partners should soon put to work and put in place a real program of regeneration of the labor market and stimulus to the economy.
