One in four workers in the Balearic Islands are foreigners, compared to only 6% in Extremadura.
Both communities are at the extremes due to the presence of non-resident affiliates in Social Security. By sectors, domestic employees and hospitality are those that attract the most outside labor.
The extraordinary regularization of migrants is already being felt in the composition of the labor market throughout Spain. In July, the total number of foreign affiliates exceeded the barrier of 3.5 million workers for the first time, after gaining 66,000 workers in the month. With this (the deadline for requesting regularization ended on June 30), and for the third consecutive month, the weight of foreign contributors was greater than 15% of the total number of people affiliated who work in Spain, compared to 14.1% a year ago.
However, the presence of foreigners in the labor markets of each community is very uneven. Their weight in the workforce ranges from 26%, which they represent among all affiliates in the Balearic Islands, and 6% of the total contributors in Extremadura, according to the statistical detail published this Friday by Social Security.
