2019 has been another good year for the labour market: has uploaded the employment has dropped and unemployment. Go six in a row. But this time it's not all good news. The balance of the end of the year shows a clear slowdown. The affiliation to the Social Security had in December 384.373 occupied on average more than in December of last year, a 2,02% more in a year, leaving the total number of contributors in 19.4 million, according to the Ministry of Employment.

Those almost 400,000 new enrollees represent the lowest number since 2013, when the output of the last recession is still destroying jobs. The following year, the labour market began to accelerate and has already created more jobs. After it has maintained a cruise speed for a long time, so much so that last summer they came to beat the historical record of razor-sharp to Social Security. But this year we've already seen clear signs of exhaustion, and even if the number of contributors in the institute of public moving in the vicinity of that historic figure, no longer climbs at the pace it did.

Also on the other side of the labour market shows the same evolution. The registered unemployment has dropped over the last 12 months in 38.692 people. It is also a good statistic —"it's always positive that you lower unemployment," is a common phrase among the actors of labour market—, but in this case you have to go back to 2012 to find a fact of close off more weak.

The same thing that show the annual balance sheets is seen in the monthly. In December has increased the membership of the average Social Security 31.659 workers and has lowered the unemployment 34.579 people, according to the Ministry of Employment. The data are positive, but are less good since 2012, and 2011, respectively.

December is usually a good month for the christmas campaign. Recruitment in the trade hold the job. The templates of this activity in the past month increased by 25.422 people; also the health (19.231). Fell, instead, in the construction (25.763) and in the hospitality industry (14.683).
