The education sector and foreigners are propping up employment with more than 186,000 new affiliates in the best October in the series.
Three out of four contributors registered in the last year are foreigners, although their impact began to ease last month.
The Spanish Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migrations reported that the Social Security system gained 186,612 affiliations in October, a record high. The education sector accounted for 171,000 of these new affiliations, bringing the total number of contributors to 22,624,165. This makes October the best October on record since the comparable series began in 2002. The employment growth supports Spain's economic growth, which was 2.7% in the second quarter, driven by consumption and public spending.
