JUNE has gotten off to a positive start. The number of unemployed people registered at the offices of the public employment services in Andalucia fell by 20,341 people in May, which implies a drop of 2.61 per cent, bringing the total number of those regis‐ tered in the public employment services to 758,457, according to data provided on June 2 by the Spanish Ministry of Labour and Social Economy. In Axarquia, there has been an almost generalised drop in unemployment since last month. Rincon de la Victoria is the municipality with the greatest re‐ duction in the number of unemployed people, as it began June with 126 fewer than a month earlier (3.41 per cent). Rincon is followed by Nerja, with 125 fewer unem‐ ployed people (6.85 per cent). Torrox has started June with 51 fewer unemployed people and Velez‐ Malaga with 41. In the interior, the best figure comes from Colme‐ nar, where the number of unemployed people has been reduced over the last month by 32 (10.92 per cent). On the other hand, the worst figure has come from Moclinejo, where the number of unemployed people has risen by 11. Malaga ended May with the lowest level of unem‐ ployment since 2008 and a record number of regis‐ tered workers. The positive trend that was cut short by the pandemic has been recovered.
