Employment has been one of the fundamental axes in the policy of the Municipal Government.
Such has been the dedication that, last week, the First Plan of Local Development and Development was presented.
The name is something peculiar, but it does not stop being a tool that fuses all the resources and potentialities of our city.
Employment, tourism, agriculture, industry, commerce and hospitality combine a decisive axis that brings together resources and needs.
With the effort and the necessary dedication of the City Council they will contribute to the economic improvement.
We congratulate the Government Team with the Mayor at the head and the technicians of the councils involved in the project for the great work.
Cieza is being modernized at a dizzying pace, with a tireless effort from many people.
From the Socialist Party, we would like to make an employment analysis with this text.
Specifically, to the work that entails looking for resources, companies and conditions to generate employment.
Through the data of the CARM, we have been able to observe how the dedication and desire have their rewards.
Since 2014, 975 jobs have been obtained in our municipality.
Specifically, 23.5% of unemployed in 2014 (which corresponded to 3,563 ciezanos and ciezanas) have gone to 16, 34% (2,588 people from Cieza).
Unemployment has been reduced by almost 10%.
Someone might think it's a thing of cycles.
We have emerged from the crisis and, as a result, jobs have been generated spontaneously.
But in reality, if we observe similar municipalities in our population, we can see that this is not the case.
The two examples most similar to Cieza can be Alcantarilla or Yecla.
In the first, Sewer in 2014 had a 28.22% and 2017 closed it with an almost 22% two points less than Cieza.
O Yecla that in 2014 had a 28.98% and 2017 closed it with 19%, two points less as well.
Employment is the main challenge of our society.
It is not the task of the City Council, of the Regional or National Executives exclusively.
Therefore, a transversal implication is needed.
It is no coincidence that in the historical seriousness of Spanish employment has not fallen by 10%, the Spanish labor system has endemic problems that have to be solved.
For this, we need a new reindustrialization, a national agreement for water, much more investment in R & D, among other things ...
Cieza can not be satisfied with a 16% unemployment.
It is a good data if we compare from the end of 2014 to 2017. Although it is a good data, Cieza can not settle for having lowered almost 10 points of unemployment.
The dedication has to continue and the effort to continue reducing unemployment can not disappear from those who have influence.
For this reason we believe that we must continue working tirelessly.
Work is a fundamental value that dignifies, comforts and allows the development of people's life projects.
Work is a right reflected in our constitution and, after the pressing crisis that we have just experienced, a lack that has decorated the worst realities of our neighbors.
We need attentive social agents, with desire, to help continue the growth of our city.
We need courageous institutions, attentive councilors, to continue with the project they started.
Although, above all, if we are happy with something, it is with the 975 congratulations to those people who, with the dignity of getting up every morning to their job, have been able to continue with their life project.
