Microenterprises multiply job creation by five up to July
Employment in companies with fewer than ten workers grew by almost 2% year-on-year in July, compared to stagnation a year earlier.
Spain is a country of small and medium-sized enterprises. 84% of companies have between 1 and 9 employees and often the owners of these companies complain of being the ugly duckling of the economy: they claim to be suffocated by the increase in costs and the weight of bureaucratic burdens. But at least in the last year, they have been showing enormous dynamism.
According to the latest statistics of companies registered with the Social Security, those with fewer than ten employees have recorded a year-on-year increase in employment in July of 1.9%. This is equivalent to adding 56,000 workers compared to a year ago. And it means multiplying by more than five the creation of employment compared to the records of July 2025, when they barely showed a growth of 0.3% in posts.
